Hi there, this is a walking, socializing and generally getting out group aimed at people who suffer from anxiety and depression. The aim of this group is to provide an easy going and safe environment where people can enjoy getting out and about without feeling pressure to fit in or behave in a certain way. 

Exercise, fresh air and socializing can do wonders for your mental health and can be a big help in managing ongoing problems. Unfortunately though, it's not always easy to motivate yourself to get out and do things. Hopefully the idea of some understanding company and the beautiful Edinburgh scenery will help us all get outside, get exercising and feel better.

We will make sure to cater for different levels of fitness and we may diversify into other forms of exercise in the depths of winter.

This will be a safe space, you can be yourself and not be judged. As long as you afford the same to others.

Join up and see if any of our suggestions take your fancy.
