The time to walk and talk project has been developed to target the most impactful areas on an individual’s
health, as identified by the patient participation group. One of the main areas identified was how significant
isolation impacts on an individual’s mental health. As such the group developed opportunities for people from a
range of age groups and life experiences to socialise and/or exercise in safe areas where they can come along and
get involved or, read or chat amongst themselves. The offering includes a safe space for drop ins and wellness
sessions, activity groups based around yoga and walking, and an advice and support service including a
counsellor.
