Hannah Beecham, RED Together Founder of RED January, a nationwide movement that’s empowering people across the UK to move every day in January to support their own mental health and raise funds to help others. Hannah was inspired to start RED January after witnessing the transformative effect that regular physical activity had on her Mum’s mental health, particularly during the winter months, a time when many of us need an extra boost of motivation.
