St Mary's Community Based Project: Hounslow Health Walks

Over the past three years, Health and Wellbeing Services at St Mary's University, Twickenham has been managing and delivering Hounslow Health Walks, in partnership with Walking for Health and the London Borough of Hounslow. During that time we have made fantastic progress within the borough, with 60+ trained walk leader volunteers, and 9 regular walks.  Furthermore, two of our regular volunteers have received awards from Walking for Health in recognition of their outstanding contributions. We have seen thousands of residents taking part over the years, with 3,129 attendees in the last year alone! All those involved have loved getting some exercise and making new friends whilst seeing the beautiful outdoor spaces on offer within the borough: “The health walks are great for people to engage with the community and enjoy nature. Great idea! Thank you so much!!!” “My wife and I are grateful to you for organizing the health walks. We find them great and help us to keep in better shape mentally and physically. Thank you very much.” If you’re interested in working with us to deliver walk leader training or health walks for you or your organisation, please get in touch! Let’s get moving together!
