Weekly walks providing benefits

Prior to coming on the wellbeing walks I was feeling lonely as I had lost my husband only recently. I didn’t have people to speak to. I attended a weekly walk in Warley Woods however I became anxious that I would trip or fall as some of the path there is uneven and there are tree roots exposed. My son saw a leaflet on the park noticeboard and told me about it and I thought that is perfect for me as the park surface is flat and tarmacked and it was very local to me.

I was feeling quite lonely and wanted to meet new people to talk with. I was also feeling nervous about joining a new walking group as I didn’t know anyone. I think that Age UK is a great charity. I look forward to coming to the walks every week and I have met some new people. I hope that this continues as I have really benefited from this.
