“I can honestly say Clarity Walk was the best decision I have ever made. I am becoming more confident, and criticise myself less. I’m less stressed, I can be myself on the walks, I feel accepted, I smile more, I laugh more. I have met so many lovely people and built new friendships. My anxiety has decreased and I’ve started to experience things I never thought I would be able to do or feel again”

“I started in 2021 just doing the inclusive walk as I couldn’t walk far due to arthritis and hypermobility. I got fitter by doing more walks and became a walk leader about 18 months ago. I then had a mental health crisis and had a few months off. I had a warm welcome back with no judgement whatsoever and have recently started to lead walks again. Clarity Walk has really helped me both physically and mentally, and I am proud to be part of a fabulous group.”

“I was encouraged to join Clarity Walk by the Community Mental Health Team. It has proved to be the best thing for me. The group is very friendly, and my mental health certainly benefits from being out in the fresh air. I try to do 4-5 walks per week. Sometimes I feel low and upset when I go out, but the walks change that. My mind feels more relaxed. Dogs are welcome to join the walks and my dog joins me on al the walks I do. The walk leaders are all so helpful and supportive.”

“I’ve been joining Clarity Walks for two years. Back then I found it hard to leave the house and to begin with I was very shy and nervous with anxiety. The supporters help you relax. It’s that short time when I can forget all the stress of full-time single parent responsibilities and stress and work pressures. Thanks to the support and close friendships I have made with the fellow walkers (classed as family) when I was in the dark. I have been known to climb a few small rocks and sit at the top and let the world and problems blow away.”

“As a team of busy estate agents we are often glued to our phone so the day allowed us the opportunity to switch off our devices and completely relax. We felt calm and refreshed after and we can’t wait to do it again.”
