Greenhead Park Walking Group

Physical activity is extremely important for people affected by cancer, and walking is an ideal, gentle activity to raise the heart rate and get some fresh air. The social part of the group is also extremely important, with the chance for patients and family members to meet others in a similar situation and chat to our volunteers and staff for support too.

The walks will set off at 10.30am from the Conservatory so we ask you to please arrive around ten minutes beforehand, to complete a registration form. Everyone is very welcome, and the walk is free.

Please note individuals will be required to pay for their own refreshments, should they wish to purchase items from the café.
