We believe that mental health issues shouldn't be a barrier to physical activity for anyone. Our physical activity programme supports people with mental health issues to get active to improve their mental health and wellbeing. Delivered in partnership with community partners, we offer taster sessions in different physical activities or weekly structured group
How to join:
Most of our physical activities are open to anyone who feels that physical activity could benefit their mental health. Individuals can self-refer or be referred by a health professional, support worker or a via another charity.
- Happy Feet Walking Group - July 2021
Join our friendly group every Monday to explore Kingston's green parks and riverside. Led by our volunteer Barbara who is a member of Kingston Ramblers, the walks are easy to moderate and incorporate a break so people can leave at that point or continue on.
Previous walks have included the Woodland Walk in Bushy Park and through Home Park towards Hampton Court.
Contact Rachel Dykins (details below) for further information on how to join.
