Haverhill Walk & Talk - MenWalkTalk

What to expect

MenWalkTalk is a registered charity which aims to support men’s mental health by facilitating walk and talk groups, reducing social isolation by creating a community of men who support each other.

Led by Chris, a trained volunteer walk leader, walks last an hour and for those that want to. There's no pressure to talk, or to stick to mental health topics, but the walks are a safe space within which to open up and connect.

You'll meet Chris by one of the benches outside the Visitor Centre at East Town Park (What 3 Words - functions.hush.bookings). If you sign up for a walk, you'll be notified of any changes or cancellations. The dates and times for walks can be found here: https://menwalktalk.co.uk/walks

More information

MenWalkTalk walks offer informal group support and are not talking therapy or crisis support, though walk leaders can signpost NHS and other mental health services.

There is parking, including disabled spaces, at the park.

Dress in weather-appropriate clothing and footwear. The terrain varies so may not be suitable if you have limited mobility or are in a wheelchair - you can email MenWalkTalk to discuss your needs.

There are toilets on site.

The visitor centre is a converted stable block with a kiosk offering drinks and snacks. It is open from Easter through the end of October.

If you'd like to be a volunteer walk leader contact MenWalkTalk. More information here.

Walks are free.

Refreshments are available to purchase at the kiosk if you like.
