Walk On – LivingGrief

Walk On Eventbrite Q2 2022
Walk On is a walking group run by LivingGrief, the bereavement service at St Elizabeth Hospice.

Talking to others who are going through similar experiences of bereavement can be enormously beneficial.

Open to all bereaved people in East Suffolk, please join the Walk On group for walks which are typically between three and six miles in length, exploring local places and the countryside.

We currently have one group running - exploring Ipswich and the surrounding area.

Enjoy the company of others and the sense of wellbeing that walking outside can bring.

Please wear appropriate clothing and bring a bottle of water. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

All walks are free to attend.
