AN ATHLETICS club came together to run a mile and help promote mental wellbeing.

England Athletics are working closely with MIND to increase mental health awareness throughout the UK.

Braintree and District Athletic Club coach Josie Sheffield is also England Athletics' mental health ambassador and along with fellow coach Claire Gordon organised a one mile run, for all ages and abilities, with the hope of breaking down the stigma related to mental health.

The club are always on the lookout for new members of all abilities.
