- Provide a confidential ear which will be open to all club members· Promote emotional wellbeing alongside physical wellbeing in the club’s activities and information provided to members
- Signpost members to relevant information and organisations that support emotional wellbeing
- Promote referrals from external organisations to encourage new members to join and experience the benefits of exercise
