🎦 Why it matters

Why We Are Passionate About Our Approach
“It is often the case, that one is likely to have a more meaningful conversation, whilst walking beside someone, looking forward, then facing each other in a coffee shop, trying to make small talk.”

Our aim is to focus on getting more people active (particularly from within the Muslim communities), through outdoor activities such as walking, hiking and other fun events that usually involve some movement! We try to share events with many facets, from facilitating quality connections between people by limiting numbers, to making an extra effort to incorporate as many elements and points of interest as we can.

Why do we limit numbers (even for outdoor events)

  • We genuinely wish to provide a pleasant experience to each individual that attends our events and we believe that smaller groups achieve this in a better way. In our experience, a group under 30 works best (e.g., for walking, hiking).

  • A smaller group for a 4-hour hike for example, allows participants to have enough time to properly talk to each other (if they wish) – this often results in making even stronger connections for any social get-together after the event. However, our focus remains the main activity, so that it does not become just another mingling event (where the activity becomes the excuse). Remember, it is easier to move on to the next person on a walk, than sitting face-to-face at a dinner table ;)

  • There are often first timers or newcomers that have had to build up the confidence to attend, it can be overwhelming with larger groups for some people - we wish to make it an easier, comfortable and a welcoming experience for them to join us.

  • We limit numbers, but we also repeat events frequently (walks/hikes in particular), this allows further opportunities to attend the same activity and/or meet different people.

  • It can often be for safety and consideration to other pedestrians (particularly for walks with narrow paths/busy areas).

  • Larger groups also tend to be slower, spread out further, take longer for toilet breaks and this can somewhat disrupt the flow of an activity.

  • RSVPs matter! No-shows or late removals can hinder others from attending. Those who consistently RSVP but fail to show or continually remove themselves very late, may prevent more reliable attendees from participating - If an event is full with a waitlist, we will try and give priority to new and reliable attendees.

    We are therefore trying to do our tiny bit, to instil and encourage everyone to be more mindful, considerate, consistent and reliable towards others.

“Time is always beyond its value. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone, is your time*.”*
