Some stories say it better than any mission statement ever could. One of our Southmead Walk+Talk leaders has shared a deeply personal journey - from profound grief after losing his wife, Grace, to finding the confidence to step outside again after spotting a simple flyer for our Greenway Centre walk. Welcomed at reception and encouraged to join a gentle stroll and a chat, he discovered new friendships, new purpose, and a path back into community life - eventually becoming a volunteer leader and trustee in Southmead.
This is exactly why Walk+Talk exists: to make it easy for anyone to take a first small step toward connection, conversation, and hope.
That walk changed and saved my life.
If you or someone you know could use a friendly nudge back into the world, come along to a Walk+Talk — you’ll be met with kindness and a warm hello.
