A £2m programme using sport to improve the lives of people with mental health problems has been announced.
It is hoped the scheme, run by charity Mind with funding from Sport England, will help 75,000 people.
They will be offered help to join sports clubs, take up a new activity or go to the gym as part of the project.
It will be launched in eight areas of England next year, with £1.5m of National Lottery funding from Sport England and £514,000 raised by Mind.
