Hayley and her group running in a park

Running together can save lives: Hayley's story

After suffering from bullying as a child, Hayley started running as a way to improve her physical and mental wellbeing. Running soon became an important part of Hayley’s life, and she went on to set up an inclusive social running group called Jolly Joggers. The group focuses on mental wellbeing, aiming to help people of all ages to move more for their mental health and to find connections with like-minded people.
