This October, during Mental Health Month, Westfield and Lifeline have joined forces to promote the positive benefits that physical health has on mental health, with the campaign Move It For Mental Health. Between 1-31 October, select Westfield centres will be hosting health, fitness and wellness events.

Westfield is also matching every customer donation, dollar for dollar, up to $15,000. That means your support goes twice as far in helping Lifeline answer more calls from Australians in crisis. Donations can be made at the Concierge Desks in-centre or via the Lifeline Move It for Mental Health webpage.

The benefits of regular exercise on your physical and mental health include:

• Better sleep
• Improved concentration
• Increased energy levels
• Improved confidence
• Improved mood
• Reduced stress and anxiety

There are plenty of ways to get involved and make a difference:

Donations can be made at STRONG Pilates between 19 to 24 October, or visit the Westfield Concierge Desk or the Lifeline Move It for Mental Health webpage from 1 - 31 October.

Your donation can help ensure no call for help goes unanswered:

Together, we can make sure that when someone needs to talk, Lifeline is there to listen.
