WALK-W-ME

Overview

WALK-W-ME is a community initiative delivered under the charity WITH-ME.

WALK-W-ME offers a welcoming walking experience designed to help people connect through movement and conversation. Participants arrive as they are and leave feeling part of something shared. The experience is relaxed, inclusive and grounded in human connection.

What makes WALK-W-ME unique is its focus on creating a safe and judgment free space where strangers can become familiar faces. Conversations happen naturally while walking side by side. There is no pressure to perform or share more than feels comfortable.

WALK-W-ME began in 2021 to address loneliness and social isolation. It encourages people to step outside their comfort zones, meet new people and build genuine friendships over time. The community is diverse and intergenerational, with participants spanning from teenagers to older adults.

Consistency is a core part of the experience. WALK-W-ME recognises that starting a habit is often the hardest step. Once started, returning becomes easier. Each walk supports physical wellbeing through gentle movement and psychological wellbeing through belonging.
