WD Charity Walk | The Great Big Walk for Herts
Details
## The Great Big Mind Walk for Herts 🥾🌿
Fancy spending a Saturday getting outdoors, meeting new people and doing something brilliant for a local cause?
Join WD Collective as we take on The Great Big Walk for Herts together, raising money for Mind Hertfordshire Network and supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people across Hertfordshire.
We’ll be walking the beautiful Shenley Loop — a 13-mile circular countryside route starting and finishing at The Café in the Orchard at Shenley Park.
The walk will be at a relaxed, sociable pace, with breaks and a lunch stop along the way. Expect countryside, conversation and a lovely group of people to share the miles with.
### 🥾 The route
📍 Start & finish: The Café in the Orchard, Shenley Park
🕙 Start: 10am
🏁 Finish: Around 4–5pm
🚶 Distance: 13 miles
🌳 Route: Harperbury → Colney Street → Ver-Colne Valley Walk → Letchmore Heath → Shenley
### 💛 Walking for Mind Hertfordshire Network
Everyone taking part in the official walk is asked to commit to raising a minimum of £150 in sponsorship.
Every penny raised will go directly towards supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people across Hertfordshire.
Whether you're walking in memory of someone, for your own wellbeing, to support the cause, or simply want to challenge yourself alongside some new people, we'd love you to join the WD Collective group.
### 🎟️ How to join us
Please note that RSVPing to the WD Collective Meetup does not register you for the official charity walk.
You'll also need to complete the official Mind Hertfordshire
Network registration form and commit to the £150 fundraising target.
Once you've registered and RSVP'd to WD Collective, we'll share our group meeting point and details before the event so we can meet up and start the walk together.

Alternatively, you can email [fundraising@hertsmindnetwork.org](mailto:fundraising@hertsmindnetwork.org) or call us on 02037 273600
### 👋 Coming by yourself?
Please do! You don't need to already know anyone in WD Collective.
The whole idea is to give people locally more opportunities to get out, try things, meet new people and build genuine friendships — so solo attendees are very much encouraged.
Come for the cause, the countryside and the challenge — and hopefully leave with a few new connections too. ❤️
Walk together. Support together. Stronger together.
