Wellbeing Walks

Back to Activities

Wellbeing walks are short group walks led by friendly, trained leaders who provide encouragement and support. They are suitable for everyone because they are at a steady pace over an easy terrain. You don't need to walk far or fast to feel the benefits!

This activity is good for wellbeing because

  • walking is a good way to start getting active;
  • it is a group activity & a great way to meet new people;
  • getting outside & exploring your local area is energising.

 

 

What to expect?

Wellbeing Walks are sociable group walks led by trained leaders. They are open to adults of any age, fitness or ability but many are aimed at those who are less active. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that are weather-appropriate. Bring some water to drink.
