What a lovely hour we had on today’s Wellbeing Walk from The Story in Durham! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️✨

This week’s route took us out to visit the nearby Willow Man and Children — a favourite stop for the group and the perfect place for a breather, a chat, and a few smiles. 😊 The weather was kind, the company was even better, and everyone finished the walk feeling lighter and more uplifted.

If you're looking for a friendly weekly boost, why not join us next time?
🕒 1 hour every week
📍 Meeting point: The Story Durham every Tuesday at 10am
💬 All welcome — bring a friend or come along solo!

See you on the next walk! 🌸👟
