We are excited to announce that Walk4Wellbeing is back! We hope you will join us once again for a walk in nature to support SignHealth.

Walk4Wellbeing is a virtual event taking place on Saturday 3rd July 2021. Sign up and walk wherever you choose - whether this be in the countryside, in the woods, along a coastal path or in a National Trust park. It is an opportunity to come together, to be outdoors, get some exercise and enjoy the natural world around us, which is also a great way to look after your wellbeing. Equally it's a chance to support the work of SignHealth by fundraising, donating and spreading the word to reach those who may not have heard of SignHealth before.

Your fundraising and donations will support us to develop our projects and campaigns to improve deaf mental health inequality in two key areas; deaf children and young peoples mental health services and BSL psychological therapy for adults. We want to transform Deaf mental health services around the UK by providing equal access for Deaf children in the same way as their hearing peers. For more information please visit our website www.signhealth.org.uk/walk4wellbeing

Challenge yourself to walk and fundraise for SignHealth with Walk4Wellbeing. We raised an amazing £5000 last year and look to raise even more this year but cant do this without your support.

By taking part you will raise awareness of the lack of accessible services available for young deaf people within mental health services and tackle the mental health inequality for Deaf people.

How long should your walk be?

Did you know this year, its been 35 years since SignHealth was first established. As a suggestion, why not use this number to determine your distance, heres some examples - 3.5km, 3.5 miles, 350 steps, 3 hours and 50 minutes? Whatever you choose, its up to you.

You can walk any distance you choose, whats important is to come together with friends and family (or whoever you wish to walk with) to connect with nature in support of Deaf mental health.

When?

Head out on Saturday 3rd July 2021.
