Walking Group
Join our Weekly Walking Group!
A friendly walk, a little fresh air and great company!
We believe that looking after your health is about more than just medical care. Staying active, making friends and feeling part of a community can make a real difference to your physical and mental wellbeing.
Our weekly walking group has been bringing patients together since 2015 and continues to go from strength to strength!
Our group offers a friendly, relaxed and supportive environment where everyone is made to feel welcome. The walks are at a gentle pace, making them ideal for people of different ages and abilities.
When and where?
- Every Thursday at 11am
- Meeting point: St Fillans Medical Centre reception
- Please arrive at 10.45am
- No need to book, just turn up!
Walking regularly can help improve your fitness, mobility, heart health and mental wellbeing. But for many of our patients, the biggest benefit is the friendship, laughter and sense of belonging that comes with being part of the group.
Whether you're feeling lonely, adjusting to retirement, rebuilding your confidence after illness or simply looking for a reason to get out of the house, our walking group could be just what you need.
Don't just take our word for it!
Here's what some of our regular walkers have to say:
"The walking group has helped me a lot, as I lost my husband earlier in the year, and I felt very lonely. This friendly group have welcomed me in, and I really do look forward to the company each week." – LB
"We found it hard fitting into a new routine in the daytime, and this walk has opened up a new chapter in our lives, and we very much look forward to it." – L&W
"We are the original walkers from 2015, and we are still going strong in our 80s. Sue makes this a very welcoming walk for all to join in." – V&S
"Everyone we have met chats to us and we have a giggle, and we now see them as friends." – S&N
Why not give it a try?
Join us at St Fillans reception every Thursday at 10.45am, ready for an 11am start. Walks last approximately 45 mins to an hour.
