Our new Gentle Social Walking Group in Cirencester is perfect for those who enjoy a relaxed stroll and good company.

Each walk is a short, gentle route on level terrain, which is accessible and suitable for all abilities. The walk is followed by the opportunity to socialise over refreshments (available at a reduced cost) at The Long Table, which is located in central Cirencester. What a lovely way to connect, chat, and enjoy the outdoors together! 🚶☕🍰

Join us for our next walk this Thursday 25th September. We meet at The Long Table, 29-25 Market Place, Cirencester at 10.30am. There's no need to book, just come along and you'll receive a warm welcome!

Whether you're looking to stay active, meet new people, or simply enjoy a peaceful walk, we’d love to see you there.

Thank you to The Long Table in Cirencester for hosting us ❤️

The Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has confirmed that paracetamol is safe to take during pregnancy.

There is no evidence that taking paracetamol in pregnancy causes autism in children.

If you’re pregnant and need pain relief, paracetamol remains the recommended option. Always follow the guidance on the packet and speak to your midwife, GP or pharmacist if you have any questions.
