Action Mental Health welcomes new corporate partner Podium 4 Sport

Action Mental Health is delighted to announce its latest corporate partnership of 2019, with Podium 4 Sport.

The sports and fitness equipment retailer, based in Castlereagh, offers a range of sportswear for a vast array sporting requirements, from amateurs to  professionals and teams of all ages across a diverse field of sport.

The retail business selected Action Mental Health as its charity partner for 2019 and as the beneficiary of fundraising efforts over the period.

Action Mental Health is grateful to work with Podium 4 Sport, recognising that sport, like any physical activity, plays a huge role in keeping our minds healthy, as well as our bodies.

By actively supporting Action Mental Health, the company joins the diverse range of corporate partners which work to help eliminate the stigma still associated with mental health issues.

Action Mental Health Fundraising and Communications Manager Jonathan Smyth announced the partnership, stating: “Receiving the support of the corporate community, like that offered by Podium 4 Sport, helps to ensure the future of our programmes with children and young people which are becoming increasingly sought-after throughout Northern Ireland.

“Sports play an important role in helping to promote better mental health and well-being, reducing stress and clearing the mind. We are very grateful to have Podium 4 Sport on board as one of our corporate partners as we work tirelessly with both adults and young people across Northern Ireland to raise awareness and provide support through a wide range of dedicated recovery and resilience programmes.”

Craig Allen from Podium 4 Sport commented “It is our pleasure to be supporting Action Mental Health for 2019. The link between mental health and sport is longstanding and we would like to help build on that foundation.”
