Meet at The Pavilion - Bedford ParkWalk & talk meet up hosted by Mental Health Mates Bedford, for The Great Get Together
............................................................................
You don’t have to register in advance to attend a walk – just turn up on the day.
Our events are always free, and we make them as accessible as possible.
You can bring friends, family (including children and/or pets) and colleagues to the walks. They may not necessarily have mental health issues themselves, but they are still welcome to attend.

WHAT HAPPENS AT A WALK?
We normally start with a cup of tea or coffee and a brief chat, running through the few simple ground rules.
Talk as much or as little as you like – about mental health topics, or something completely different. Sometimes we’ll discuss the latest films or what we had for breakfast.
If you don’t feel like talking at all, that’s okay too.
This isn’t therapy; it’s simply a chance to meet like-minded people.
What’s discussed in the group is confidential.
If you need to leave early for any reason, you’re free to do so, but please tell the walk leader you’re going.
At the end of the walk, we like to take a group photo for our social media pages, but anyone who doesn’t want to be in the photo can opt out.
We then head off on our walk around the park or public space (weather-dependent!). Walks are suitable for all abilities, and tend to be circular routes that last about 45 minutes, possibly with a short break in the middle. You don’t need special footwear or equipment – these are accessible walks, usually in parks, in the countryside or by the sea.
After the walk, you’re welcome to stay for another cuppa.
Any questions, you can email walk leaders Cory and Janine, through [email protected]
