Since January 2019 MATES Mental Health Support Group have held our weekly Mental Health and Wellbeing Walk & Talks as a place where people can come and get things off of their chest and share their problems or concerns, or just get out of the house. No photos, no notes, no stigma just a nice walk and chat to people in the safety of people that care and will not judge.
MATES have had a long running association with CALM, the UK leading suicide prevention charity. From 2023 MATES weekly walk is proud to be one of CALMs official Walking Clubs. Working together to help our community.
The Walk & Talks are generally attended by men, however women are of course welcome. People often bring their children and dogs.
They generally last for about an hour around the beautiful Park. Organised by MATES (Mental health Awareness Through Educational Speaking) mental health group, a great opportunity to come and blow away the cobwebs and get out of the house. Have a chat about mental health or just meet new people.
A good walk can have a positive effect on your mind and body for up to 7 hours, so why not come and kickstart your day?
Anything that’s said is confidential no judgement, no notes, no videos, no photos...just people that that care x
