Did you know that joining a walking group is not only great for your body, but also for your mind? Here's why hitting the pavement with others can be a game-changer for your mental health and wellbeing:

Boosts Mental Health
Walking has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety. When you walk with a group, the social interaction helps release endorphins (your body’s natural mood boosters) leading to a more positive outlook.
Fosters Connection
Walking with others creates a sense of community and belonging. Socialising while moving helps build meaningful connections, reduces feelings of loneliness and encourages open conversation in a relaxed setting.
Improves Physical Health
Whether you're walking in the park or around your neighborhood, group walking can improve cardiovascular health, strengthen muscles and enhance overall fitness.
Motivation & Accountability
Walking with a group encourages consistency. When you walk together, you're more likely to stick to your routine and feel motivated to keep going, helping you set and achieve health goals.
Feeling Confident & Safe
Being with other people can increase your confidence when stepping outside, it can also help you to feel safer and less vulnerable than walking alone.
