⚠️We have made the difficult decision to cancel our Walking Together event this year, due to low sign-ups.
Instead, we are taking the opportunity to listen to you and find out what events you would love to see in the future.
Please share your ideas via our short online form, and help shape our challenge events that will have a positive impact and improve people’s mental health, wellbeing, and connection.
Lace up your walking shoes and join us for a sponsored walk in support of Trust Links!
