RED January is a nationwide movement that’s empowering people across the UK to move every day in January to support their mental health.

As a nation we’re much less active in the winter, and that is an important reason why so many people feel lower in mood and rates of depressions are higher. RED January exists to support people through this time.

Research from the University of Oxford shows the positive impact taking part in the campaign has with more than half (54%) of participants stating they were more active and experienced a significant improvement in their happiness and a reduction in anxiety.

RED January have teamed up with Played to develop an activity finder which links to local activities.. The RED community will now be able to easily find free and fun activities in their local community. The activity finder allows participants to choose the way they’d like to move each day during January, 

Getting your community involved is simple! Everyone can sign up for FREE at redtogether.co.uk. It is also possible to create a team and encourage others to sign up too! 

Let’s kick start 2022 in a positive way by moving every day, to beat the winter blues away.
