Croydon’s Community and Conservation team is in the process of re-establishing the Wellbeing Walks Programme in Croydon. With so many green spaces in Kenley, I thought that the following might be of interest to residents.
Please see the following message from the team:
I’m excited to share that, with the support of the Ramblers, Croydon Council is in the process of re-establishing the Wellbeing Walks Programme in Croydon. Wellbeing Walks are free, short walks held across England, designed to help people take their first steps toward better health, wellbeing, and happiness. With hundreds of walks taking place each week, we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make this initiative a success in Croydon.
We are currently seeking individuals interested in becoming participants as well as walk leaders to guide the walks.
