Newry clients and staff cycle their way toward 1000 milestone!

Clients at New Horizons Newry have been using pedal power to challenge themselves ahead of National Fitness Day on Wednesday, September 23. A number of cyclists took to the trails to complete an impressive 24-mile cycle from Newry to Scarva and back, enjoying the benefits of the great outdoors.

The group bike ride was part of a series of activities undertaken by the New Horizons gang which also included running, walking and swimming. Collectively, they clocked up a whopping 1000 miles. They cycled under sunny skies and had so much fun en route that they might even get on their bikes again to aim for 2000 miles!

AMH New Horizons supports the recovery of adults experiencing mental ill health and provides a comprehensive programme of specialist training in personal development, vocational skills and employability. Clients take part in the ‘Working it Out’ project which is part-funded through the Northern Ireland European Social Fund Programme 2014-2020 and the Department for the Economy and the South Eastern Health & Social Care Trust.
