Walk On is a walking group for adults run by volunteers on behalf of LivingGrief, the bereavement service at St Elizabeth Hospice.
Open to all bereaved people in Great Yarmouth and Waveney, even if you haven’t accessed hospice services before, the Walk On group explores local places and the countryside to boost wellbeing and mental health.
Walk On originally started in 2021, with walks in Ipswich and the surrounding area.
In May 2025, we started to offer walks in the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area, led by Steve.
All walks are free to attend and are typically between 3 to 6 miles in length at various locations, detailed below. Enjoy coffee and cakes with fellow walkers after the sessions.
Please wear appropriate clothing, footwear and bring a bottle of water. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
A real highlight is the coffee and cake at the end of every walk! Walk On has been a great comfort to me. It has helped me a great deal and I would really recommend the group to anyone, as it is a positive impact on both your mental and physical health.
We really do talk about everything, have laugh as a group, a chinwag and put the world to rights. The coffee and cake at the end of each walk is a real highlight too.
Walk On is such a lovely crowd of people, open to all, with an ethos of helping one another and we always enjoy welcoming new people who join.
Walk On is a really nice, informal and relaxed setting. There really is something wonderful about walking and talking in the outdoors and I have found it quite therapeutic, talking freely with others in a safe space, who understand how you feel.
The coffee at the end of the walk is a great chance for a chat with people who truly understand what you’re going through, creating a nice atmosphere where you can talk things through – it’s very reassuring.
The walk and exercise are great, but the coffee and conversation at the end are invaluable. I would thoroughly recommend Walk On to anyone.
Please note, information can be subject to change.

We appreciate that people with mobility issues may like to access Walk On for connection and emotional support. Unfortunately, as this is a walking group, we do require that attendees of the walks can participate in the walks. If you require emotional and wellbeing support but are not able to actively attend these walking groups, please refer to the local group support page of our LivingGrief Hub for information on alternative support groups you may benefit from in your community.
