Men's Sunday Social
Walk + Talk 

If you are reading this, that's brilliant it means you are interested which also means you are probably going through some struggles at the moment.

​

I started the Men's Sunday Social Walk and Talk in September 2022 as a result of my own struggles and mental health decline. The first few weeks I would walk alone until one by one new members joined. WPO is now a thriving little support network.

 

Getting out for a walk can help your mental health, it can help reduce anxiety, depression, and a negative mood. It can also boost self-esteem and reduce symptoms of social withdrawal.  Talking about your struggles can put you on the path to healing and recovery - It's not easy to talk but once you do you will feel a weight lifted. Hopefully the group is a space where men feel comfortable enough to want to express their feelings and talk.

​

A bit about the walks:

​

🔸We meet, we walk, we talk, we listen, we support 

🔸The walks are weekly, but there is no pressure to attend weekly. As and when need it

🔸No membership fee or forms to fill in. You can be added to the WPO WhatsApp

     'check-in' group to get extra support between walks 

🔸A confidential space to talk without judgement
🔸There is no pressure to talk you may just want to listen. Listening to others can

      give new perspectives and create connections
🔸Connect with men going through similar challenges, make new friends, build your

     support network and get a sense of belonging
🔸Get out stretch your legs, breathe fresh air and give your mind space to de-clutter

🔸Walks last for a minimum of an hour then we stop for tea and a chat 

🔸If you would like to bring your dog along for a walk no problem! We are pet friendly
