Taking Action for Mental Health: Eat, Sleep, Ride
Posted: 14 May 2026, in News
This Mental Health Awareness Week we’ve been talking to our members about how they are taking action to support mental health.
We spoke to Danielle McKinnon, Founder of Eat, Sleep, Ride, a social enterprise and charity on the Scottish Borders coast, using equine-assisted coaching to support young people, families, and adults facing barriers to wellbeing.
Can you give us a short description of your social enterprise?
What does community mean to you in the context of taking action on mental health?
How do you take action to look after your own mental health?
Have you faced any challenges when taking action around mental health in your work?
What recommendations do you have for how communities and organisations can take more effective action to support mental health?
