January can be a difficult month for many – returning to work after the festive break, dark mornings/evenings and the perils of the UK’s winter weather make it easy to see how people can get stuck behind a lap top for too many hours at a time and neglect good mental health care.

In honour of our commitment to being a Mindful Employer UK - in January, Cortus Advisory Group joined the RED January movement, a nationwide initiative encouraging people to get moving every day to beat away the January blues – whatever their chosen activity may be.

As a group we helped each other to find the motivation to get some fresh air, collectively recording over 250 hours of activity including golf, dog walking, boxing, power lifting, gym, running, rugby and football.

Funds raised were donated to Sport in Mind which empowers people with mental health challenges to experience the life-changing benefits of physical activity.
