Open gym for people to raise money for mental health charity Lamp.
Attain Health Studio is setting out on a group bike ride in support of Mental Health Awareness Week tomorrow.
The social bike ride will contribute towards local mental health charity Lamp and its 5k Trip to the Moon challenge. The project has been taking place all week and will end on Sunday.
Lamp's aim is to collectively complete 384,400km, the distane from the Earth to the moon.
They're encouraging people to walk, run, swim, or take part in any other physical activity throughout the week and raise £1 per kilometre that they cover.
So far, Attain Health Studio has accumulated over 150km and raised more than £280. Their target was to reach £200 by the end of the week.
They're gearing up for some group activities taking place tomorrow.
Here's a run down of the day.
10am - Group Social Bike Ride
The route will total 7.5k as part of the Lamp Trip to the Moon project. It will cover quiet roads and cycleways at a conversational pace. First-timers are welcome.
Anyone can join in with the bike ride. Just turn up at the Attain Health Studio in Clarendon Park, or sign up here.
11.30am - Group Social Run
Meet at the Attain Health Studio. The run will be at a steady pace around the local area.
12.30pm - Open Studio
The studio will be open for free use of the cardio equipment to help log additional kilometres, or to have a leisurely workout.
Cake and hot and cold drinks will be provided. The team say: "If there's no time to work out, come for the cake!"
3pm - Close
All are invited to take part tomorrow on Saturday, May 14 from 10am.
If you can't make it, donations can be made here.
