Walk & Talk aiming to tackle loneliness this Christmas

New 'Walking Through Grief' group launched

People are being encouraged to tackle loneliness during the festive period by joining in with a Walk & Talk group.

The initiative helps people get out the house, get active and socialise with people and sessions will continue over the holiday period.  

Walk & Talk has also launched a new initiative called ‘Walking Though Grief’ specifically targeted at those who have lost someone close to them.

It’s a collaboration between Manx Sports and Recreation, Cruse Bereavement and Compassionate Isle of Man.

People will be able to walk alongside ‘Grief Buddies’ who will be non-judgemental and provide the opportunity to speak to someone independent.

Zoe Crowe is the Disability and Activity Coordinator:
