We're here to help you navigate this challenging period with practical tips on taking care of your mental and physical health. Remember, you’re not alone—small changes can make a big difference, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

The power of exercise

Taking time away from screens and studying can improve your physical and mental health. The NHS recommends 150 minutes of moderate activity each week.
Exercise comes in many forms from partaking in a sports club, going out for a run, to doing yoga. With such a range of activities, it’s important to do something you enjoy.
Exercise releases a good hormone which helps keep your mood lifted for longer. Exercise can help you stay motivated and can help with a regular routine. All of which are super useful when revising for exams.
