They have most recently shared Zahra's story, who talks openly about how the biggest barriers she faced when getting active weren't physical.

This Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, we want to reflect on the power of “Small Steps, Big Leaps” and how any small movement can have a lasting impact on maternal mental health. 💜

“Friday’s theme for Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week is Voices of Change...Change doesn’t always look like big, bold moments. Sometimes, it looks like stepping outside your front door. Sometimes it looks like asking for help. By sharing our stories, we help others feel less alone. We make it easier for the next mum to speak up and access the help needed.”

Did you know? 👟
Women are more likely to make multi-purpose walking journeys, such as combining school drop-offs, care responsibilities and errands in a single trip. So why not join Living Streets’ and take a walk just for yourself
this May? 💜

Golden advice! 💜
It doesn't matter how many breaks you have to take, it's the moving that counts!

Nothing wrong with a stop-start run. It still counts. 💯

A reminder that in the middle of busy days, endless to-do lists and everything life throws our way…there’s something powerful about taking just one minute.

Step outside.
Listen to the birds.
Notice the breeze.
Let yourself take in the nature around us. 🌿

Over the next few days, take one minute for yourself somewhere in Somerset, pop out for a walk or wheel, and enjoy a minute of mindfullness. 💜

However you move, it counts. 💜

From walking with purpose to dancing in the kitchen, just 10 minutes of movement can boost your mood, energy and confidence. This Girl Can is celebrating the many ways women move through life, because every woman deserves to belong in physical activity. We like the way you move. 💪
