Join us for Meander for Mental Health 2025 on Saturday 13 September

Come and join us on the grounds of Leverndale Hospital for the sixth year of Meander for Mental Health! This year’s event will take place on Saturday 13 September and will offer the opportunity to explore our beautiful grounds, as well as green spaces in Crookston and the surrounding areas. With free events and activities happening all day, from guided walks to running, yoga, tai chi, dance and face painting, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. New for this year are alpacas, therapet and reiki.

Meander for Mental Health is open to all, whether you live in the area, are an in-patient of the hospital or are a member of staff, visitor or carer, or anything in-between. You can come along by yourself or bring your friends and family, there’s fun to be had for all ages and abilities.

The event starts from 11:00am at the administration building (site entrance B), Leverndale Hospital and finishes at 3:00pm.

Please register for free at our Meander for Mental Health Eventbrite page. Everyone who registers and completes a walk will receive a goodie bag, and our café is open for drinks and snacks throughout the event. Walk maps are on the Meander for Mental Health Facebook page.

Angela Watson, Physiotherapy Lead, Leverndale Hospital said: “September 7 to 13 is National Suicide Prevention Week 2025, and we’re encouraging people to take care of their mental health by taking part in outdoor activity in local green spaces.

“There’s so much to see along the walk routes from Leverndale’s beautifully upgraded pathways, greenspaces and commissioned mural artworks. Our 1.30pm walk will have a nature theme. We also have several activities booked for the day including a vintage bus, specialist bikes for all abilities, led walks, live music and information stalls.”

Information on suicide prevention is available.
