Champion the Change is highlighting the sport and movement providers across Bucks that share an interest in mental wellbeing.

We have created a map to show where people can find local sports groups that consider the emotional wellbeing of participants. The aim is to help people feel more confident in accessing community activities, improve their mental wellbeing through physical activity, build friendships and connect them to their community through enjoyable activities.
