Services and courses
Supporting Mental Health & Wellbeing
We are developing a range of courses to support people as we ease out of the current restrictions – the first being our
Walking Groups. We will be able to go walking with small groups of 6 people. If you have been stuck in the house and want the opportunity to get out, have a walk, a natter and maybe a coffee or two, you can register for our weekly walk using
this link.
