Linda's fundraiser for Wellness Walks

Linda Coward is raising money for Wellness Walks

Great glen canoe and walk adventure · 16 September 2025

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

As you may know I'm not stranger to adventure, fundraising or adversity.

My last fundraising adventure was 6 years ago with my dearest friend Karen and some amazing ladies, we walked and camped for 5 days. Since then my world got turned upside down, I lost my mum and another dear friend, my brother had a large tumour removed from under his sternum, covid affected us all challenging the most resilient of us and my dear friend Karen can only encourage me now from her wheelchair.

Wellness walks gave me a focus and purpose when I was struggling. They take anyone and everyone into the outdoors to walk and often talk, to enjoy the benefits of fresh air and open spaces safely with trained walk leaders all of which have mountain and mental health first aid and walking qualification.

Please help me raise funds to train and support others with wellness walks.
