Welcome to The Mental Marathon

A community café and flower shop, with a Wellness Centre coming soon.

The Mental Marathon has grown from local walks and activities into a permanent base at Cromwell House. The building is now home to a community café and flower shop, with a new Wellness Centre currently being prepared.

From community activity to a permanent home.

The Mental Marathon began with local walks and activities at Kersal Wetlands, giving people a reason to leave the house, meet others and take part in something happening nearby.

The project later found a permanent base at Cromwell House. Volunteers, local tradespeople and donated materials helped transform the building and prepare it for its new role.

Three areas, each with its own purpose.
