Coddiwomple Walks has been established to encourage people from the communities of Prestwich, Whitefield and beyond to ‘get active’ by joining us on our weekly wellbeing walks.
Coddiwomple Walks are pleased to advise that we have been successful with funding bids to The Parklife Community Fund, Bury Wellness Investment Programme (for Prestwich and Bury West) and The Majors Challenge Fund (GMCA).
We want to promote and encourage physical activity, mental wellbeing, social cohesion, and engagement. Our walks will be informal, friendly activities. ALL are welcome, including pets. Some walks are suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs, but please do check in advance.
Walks take place in local parks and in the ‘countryside on our doorsteps’ and are, 3 to 5 miles in length. Some longer walks will be introduced throughout the project. At the end of every walk there will be the opportunity for a brew and a chat with the walk leader and other participants.
Our Wednesday Coddiwomples will continue through the spring and summer (though NOT on April 9th or 16th) finishing on Wednesday August 13th. Meeting at The Barn Countryside Centre at 10am.
Launching on March 20th our Thursday Coddiwomples will take place weekly for 7 weeks (though NOT including April 10th and 17th), finishing on May 15th. Meeting at The Lakeside Café, in Heaton Park at 10am.
