A CHARITY in Henley that helps people with mental health problems has started a new fundraising campaign.
Riverside Counselling Service has launched Step Out for Riverside in order to promote the health benefits of exercise and raise funds.
The charity, which is based at the Friends Meeting House in Northfield End, currently supports 180 adults and young people across South Oxfordshire every month.
Fundraisers are asked to set their own fitness goals but some ideas include walking 10,000 steps a day, taking family bike rides and trying to run a greater distance each time you exercise.

GRANTS worth nearly £40,000 have been awarded to charities in Henley as they try to recover from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Henley Town Council received applications from seven charities requesting a total of £66,194 but had a budget of less than two-thirds of that to allocate.
Members of the finance strategy and management committee agreed the awards after receiving presentations at a virtual meeting.
A total of £5,000 will go to Riverside Counselling, which provides affordable counselling and psychotherapy to adults and young people.
The charity, which is based in Northfield End, had asked for twice that amount.
