Going From Strength To Strength
Our walks are getting bigger and better, and whilst i spend a lot of time making sure they are safe, informative, and fun, word of mouth is keeping the flame alight. On average we now have upwards of thirty people each walk that benefit in a number of ways, whether it be increasing fitness levels, socialising, or improving ones mental health.
These Guys Really Help
Working with The National Lottery Community Fund has been extremely beneficial in realising my dream of making a difference to more than just one or two people in the community. The Funding has helped me to plan the walks, supply refreshments, and provide a better level of service than i would have done without it, so i am extremely grateful.
Feedback Forms
Whilst the numbers appear to show i am getting things right i wanted to get some feedback from the group to make sure. Here are some of the comments that have been banded about and giving me confidence that all is good and nice!!
‘James is engaging & cares about people & the local environment’
‘I started walking with the group as an excuse to get a family member out and getting some exercise and fresh air as he was really struggling with his mental health post covid. Listening to him opening chat about his feelings with Jim has been amazing. Men being open about their mental health is a huge deal talking from a woman’s perspective. Keep up the good work!’
‘What an excellent idea for our community. Such a positive and motivating group which is so beneficial for wellbeing. A great way to do some exercise and see the local area. Always good to get outside and meet up with people. Thank you.’
‘Jim was very friendly, made everyone feel welcome and made the experience fun and easy going for everyone involved’
‘This is such a great thing that James is doing, we should be proud of his whole attitude to our town and countryside.. I for one will be going again.’
‘I have really enjoyed taking part. We may not be the quickest but feel a real sense of achievement after each walk‘
‘Energising, Sociable,informative, invigorating, pleasant’
‘Thanks for a great 1st experience’
