#StrideForPride was created by the Atos Pride Network to kick start the year both mentally and physically whilst raising money and awareness for LGBT+ mental wellbeing.

It is a charity initiative with a twist - you sponsor yourself!

Taking place over the last week in January 2021 (25th - 31st), the idea is to sponsor yourself to complete a physical challenge. This could be running, walking the dog, cycling or just some extra steps throughout the day.

We suggest sponsoring yourself £5 and undertaking a challenge to the equivalent of 5 kilometers. However, you should pick something that is right for you. For those with limited mobility or just starting their fitness journey, think of a personal goal that is right for you, a challenge that you can be proud of.

We hope that by investing in your own physical health you will improve your wellbeing whilst also raising awareness and money for mental health.

We also encourage you to get friend, family and colleagues involved.

All fund raised will be donated to MindOut. MindOut are a LGBT+ mental health charity who have worked for over 20 years to improve the wellbeing of LGBT+ communities and make mental health a community concern.
