The Running Matters programme is a 6 week course held every Friday at Ashton Health Centre in Preston with a run through Ashton Park. The next programme begins on the 3 March 2017 and is accessible to those suffering with mild to moderate depression. The course is based on cognitive behaviour therapy and aims to help individuals understand more about depressive symptoms and encourage them to challenge these through physical activity. Combining education and physical activity, the course aims to assist people to combat their depressive symptoms and set new goals, which they may have not been able to achieve or sustain before.
