They say Sheffield is built on 7 hills, or is it built on 7 parkruns?

On 9th July Move More Sheffield collaborated with parkrun for the first time creating a city wide event, celebrating the fantastic work done across the city by health and social care teams.

With health care professionals from across the city taking part in various different ways, from running to volunteering or bringing their families down to enjoy the brilliant weekly community event that is parkrun.

We wanted to celebrate the contribution made- not just within the NHS, but also from our social prescribing partners. Collaboration and community have been at the heart of the pandemic response and physical activity continues to be of vital importance for people to recover and reconnect.

Recent research highlights that parks and open spaces as well as having a sense of belonging within their community, improve people’s wellbeing looking at these joyful pictures, it’s easy to see why!
