Lockdown has now become a regular part of our lives, trapping us indoors for weeks on end without much contact with the outdoors. For a growing number of people, one consequence is that their mental health has been affected as we spend less time outside and more time working at home, staring at screens, often with no social interactions.
Spending just thirty minutes outdoors increases work productivity, reduces stress levels and has many other health benefits. There are many green spaces and free outdoor attractions around Sunderland to explore – all of which can help calm the mind from the day-to-day stresses we currently face.
