What are Mental Health and Wellbeing Walk & Talks about?

Since January 2019 we 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.

They generally last for about an hour around the beautiful park. Organised by MATES (Mental health Awareness Through Educational Speaking) mental health group, it's 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.

The Walk & Talks are generally attended by men, however women are of course welcome. People often bring their children and dogs!

Anything that’s said is confidential; no judgement, no notes, no videos, no photos... just people that care x
