Wellness-on-Water

Campaign by Wellness Walks

we recognise that not everyone can join us for a walk & talk to experience the therapeutic benefits of nature - so we're launching Wellness-on-Water - a way for often excluded people to get out with others, learns new skills, develop self-belief.

There are some things we all know – time spent in nature, time spent with others - both are hugely beneficial to our mental & physical health. But sadly it's not always easy for people - we aim to change that. At Wellness Walks, we harness the simple yet profound benefits of walking in nature, engaging in meaningful conversations, and fostering community connections to enhance mental and physical well-being. Our mission is to provide totally free, community-based Wellness Walks across the UK. To do this we; Train, support, equip, & insure our wonderful volunteers who are passionate about uplifting their chosen communities. Our volunteers are not only qualified in ensuring physical safety but are also trained to support mental well-being, facilitating conversations that empower participants. We also offer a range of personal skills and qualification courses aimed at supporting under-represented and marginalised communities. These programmes are designed to equip individuals with the tools they need to lead, inspire, and make a positive impact within their communities. By supporting Wellness Walks, you are contributing to a movement that believes in the healing power of nature, the importance of human connection, & the potential within every individual to take the first steps towards feeling better. Your help enables us to expand our reach, train more volunteers, and continue offering Wellness Walks free of charge to those who need them most. Thank you.

Story

Help Us Bring “Wellness-on-Water” to Life

We’re fundraising for specialist canoes and safety equipment to help more people access the water — especially those who can’t always join us for a walk.

At Wellness Walks, we know that time in nature can transform lives. But not everyone can manage a trail or a hillside. Wellness-on-Water opens the same sense of connection and wellbeing to people with mobility restrictions or health conditions — giving them the chance to be active, social and part of something bigger.

As one participant said:

Adventurous, brave, a participant rather than a bystander. Part of something safe. Free from intruding thoughts … you can’t learn to canoe and think of problems. Working with others as a team made it even better."

That’s what this project is about — belonging, confidence, and joy.

Why It Matters

Water sports are often out of reach for many people — either physically or financially. The cost of equipment and instruction can be prohibitive, and accessible options are rare.

Your support will help us remove those barriers. By purchasing specialist crafts and adaptive safety gear, we’ll make it possible for people to take part safely and comfortably, with trained volunteers on hand to support every step of the way.

Together, we’ll create sessions that are:

Accessible – designed for people with limited mobility or who’ve never tried water-based activities before.

Inclusive – free to join, friendly and fully supported.

Health-positive – improving mental, physical and social wellbeing in one shared experience.

Your Donation Makes a Difference

Every contribution helps us turn “Wellness-on-Water” from an occasional event into a regular part of what we do.

It helps someone who thought they couldn’t, to discover that they can — safely, proudly, and with others by their side.

Please donate today and help more people swap the shore for the water — because everyone deserves the chance to move, to belong, and to feel the simple joy of being part of something good.
