We're ready for this year's Memory Walk... are you?! ๐Ÿ’™

We were at Pennington Flash on Wednesday with our lovely event volunteers, testing out the routes ahead of the big day on Sunday 5 July.

Our Memory Walk is for everyone - so, as always, there are two walks you can choose from:

๐Ÿšถ A short accessible walk around the park (approx. 20 mins)
๐Ÿšถ A 5km/3.1 mile walk around the surrounding area (approx. 60 mins)

There'll also be a fun challenge trail for little ones, and plenty for them to do on the day. So come along and enjoy a day out with a difference!

What is the Memory Walk? ๐Ÿ’™

Itโ€™s our annual feel-good fundraiser in support of the Alzheimer's Society.

But itโ€™s not just about raising money and awareness in the fight against dementia.

Itโ€™s about community, showing up for those who need us, and sharing stories of loved ones weโ€™ve lost along the way.

And while itโ€™s an incredibly serious cause, itโ€™s also a wholesome, heartwarming day out full of fun and smiles.

So please sign up and join us at Pennington Flash on Sunday 5 July (11am).

Bring the family, get your friends to sponsor you, and come enjoy a day out with a difference that really makes a difference.

Ready to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident? ๐Ÿ’ช

Strength training isnโ€™t just for athletes โ€” itโ€™s one of the most powerful things you can do for your long-term health. Regular strength-based exercise can help lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and even neurological conditions, while also improving joint pain and everyday mobility ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ

Whether youโ€™re a complete beginner or returning after a break, itโ€™s never too late to start and every step makes a difference.

Being active doesnโ€™t just help you feel better now, it supports healthy ageing, helping you stay independent, capable, and doing the things you love for longer ๐Ÿ’š

At Be Well, you donโ€™t have to do it alone. Our specialist coaches are here to guide you every step of the way, helping you build confidence, strength, and a routine that works for you.
