Following on from Mental Health Awareness Week last week where we heard from the team at Edinburgh Mail Centre as they opened their new wellbeing room – in this video today, we’re joined by OPG, Lee Borthwick.

In this video, Lee shares the benefits of physical exercise and the positive effects it has on the mind as well as body.
