A walking group are celebrating one whole year of friendly wellbeing walks around Burnham-on-Crouch.

The Wednesday Walk for Wellbeing was launched in January 2024 by Maldon & District CVS in partnership with the Moat Foundation. The walking group aimed to pose an opportunity to encourage physical activity and tackle social isolation in the Maldon district.

These gentle walks are just 1 - 2 miles in length and cover Riverside Park, the Quay and Burnham High Street, before heading back for refreshments courtesy of Moat Foundation. They aim to be accessible to all with everyone welcome to join if they wish.

"It's been wonderful to see the sense of connection and support growing within our community over the past year," said Ryan Pegrum, Operations Manager at Maldon & District CVS.

"The Wednesday Walk for Wellbeing has become more than just a chance to get active, it's a way for people to come together, share experiences, and build friendships.

"We're so grateful to the Moat Foundation and MDCVS staff and volunteers for helping make this possible, and we look forward to seeing even more faces join us in the future as we continue to strengthen our community through these walks."

The walkers meet on Wednesdays outside Burnham Library at 10.30am and head off from there.
