Based in a community centre the aim is to encourage local residents in the surrounding area to take up walking as an exercise and introduce them to other activities available to them in the centre.
Our walks
We now have 60/90 minute walks on Thursday mornings, sometimes using public transport (Metro) to get to a starting point. We meet in the Linskill Centre, North Shields at 10am.
On Fridays we have a short (mostly flat) walk of about 35 to 45 minutes. Meeting at the Linskill Centre at 11am the walk will be circular finishing up at the Linskill Cafe.
Call Andy on 0191 228 9475 or 07985 155 734 to confirm the walks are taking place - Weather has never stopped us yet!!
Events
Our big problem is that a lot of 'events' have costs involved in setting up. We have adopted a constitution, and are in the process of opening a bank account. Once set up we will be able to seek funding support to help us develop.
In the meantime we take part in charity walks, like the Sara Hope walk and the Altzeimers walk.
We're looking to have an event during the Get Moving Week, 3-11 October, events supporting mental health.
