Preston Moves - Netwalking in November - Brockholes Nature Reserve

Preston Moves is a city-wide partnership working with communities to support and inspire people to move more.

We recognise that many people in our city are working to support their communities to get active - including community leaders, project volunteers, activity club members, GPs, mental health workers, youth workers, teachers, faith leaders, community gardeners, community nurses, coaches, bike ride leaders, comms professionals, running influencers - so many people working to inspire and support others.

One of our goals is to connect this community so that we can support and inspire each other.

Netwalking

Each month Preston Moves hosts a free walk in a different Preston park. It will be at a chatty pace and whilst not a guided tour it will be led by a member of the Preston Moves team. It’s a chance for you to meet new people, perhaps in new places.

Zooms

Each month we are also hosting a free Thursday lunchtime Zoom which will be an opportunity to meet new people, share your news and ask your questions.

WhatsApp

And to support these we created a WhatsApp Community Group which event attendees and those messaging [email protected] are welcome to join. You’ll be able to connect with others, find out about events, promote your own and ask questions.

November's walk will be in beautiful Brockholes. We will meet at the door of the visitors centre / coffee shop from 3:45 for a 4pm start of our walk for about 40 minutes. The visitors centre is open til 4pm if you arrive early and want to keep warm. (We'll pop our head into the cafe and ask if anyone is here for our walk.)

Dress for the weather and wear comfy shoes. The route is accessible and service dogs (only) are welcome - we normally welcome all dogs but we are abiding by the rules of the nature reserve. Please let us know if you have any specific accessibility issues and we will support them sensitively.

BYO refreshments - and please don’t feel nervous about coming alone. It’s a networking space. Please also feel welcome to come and leave a little early.
