Mums social had been invaluable to me. Being a mum can be lonely and challenging at the best of times. The walk and talk meetups have been great for me to meet other mums.
It’s a really supportive environment, I would have been lost without it.

Walk & Talk FAQ’s:
Wear something comfortable for a walk in the park, we recommend a few layers in case it gets a bit chilly or you start to get warm as you up your step count, and of course comfy supportive footwear.
As the weather can be unpredictable it’s usually a good idea to have a rain cover with you too.
On rainy days, don’t forget the kids wellies, jumping in puddles is lots of fun!
If the weather conditions are unsafe or dangerous, we may adapt the route or cancel the session.
We will get in contact to let you know about any cancelled activities, but otherwise the walks will run as scheduled.
Please make sure you have suitable clothing/rain cover/sun cream for the conditions.
Walks vary depending on location, weather and the families in attendance. We are family led so you will be able have a say on how the sessions are run; on days when you are feeling active, we can walk for longer, on days when the weather isn’t so great or little legs are getting tired, we might head for a post walk coffee & chat sooner rather than later!
