More about the event: The Wellbeing walking group provides gentle, low-impact exercise and a dedicated safe space for individuals who have finished cancer treatment to walk and talk without fear of judgment. This is a fun opportunity to get active at your own pace whilst meeting other adults who have finished cancer treatment.
The aim is that our free and friendly wellbeing walks will help reduce social isolation, improve mental wellbeing and help individuals post cancer treatment to have the confidence to become and stay more active by building in regular walking in their lives.
The sessions will be held once a month, for 1 hour, in the Walthamstow Wetlands.
Attendees can join a supportive walking WhatsApp group once they have signed up.
