We have expanded our peer support groups…… TO INCLUDE WALKING! This activity is live with the Aspen Medical Practice supporting and encouraging patients to join the activity. The Patient Participation Group have been organising this activity and it has been a big hit with those who have joined the walks. It is still in its early days in development but is growing in popularity. Gill and Sandra have been instrumental with organising the activities and are looking for more volunteers to help them grow the activity. In the working environments we used to have the midweek walks before the Pandemic hit us, but we are looking at starting these up again as more staff return to the workplace. Like the running group it does not matter what your fitness levels are, you can go as fast or slow as you like.
Our active groups supports anyone experiencing some form of mild mental ill-health or anxiety, inactive people, or those who find it hard to exercise on their own and anyone experiencing loneliness.
