Before joining WDH I was doubting myself as I found myself lacking motivation to do my daily routine that I had been doing for years. Even tasks I had been doing my whole life like cooking. I joined the WDH offer because I wanted to get back outside and to exercise after having gained some weight and I also wanted to meet some new people. I needed to gain some more motivation to go out on more walks, and hope to eventually walk everyday. Before attending the walks I felt anxious and doubted myself, but AgeUK is a great charity – everyone is friendly and I feel welcomed which has helped with my anxiety. I now look forward to coming out every Wednesday and it has improved by mental health. It is great to be able to talk to like-minded people. After the weekly walks, I feel positive all day and the support from AgeUK has helped with my motivation. I am going to start some new health programmes to continue to better my health and will continue to attend the weekly walks.
“I feel good! I have made new friends and feel I have made a positive change in my life.”
