Feet on the Street – Newry

Feet on the Street Wellbeing Programme: Walking Towards Wellness

Join the Feet on the Street Wellbeing Programme in Newry, where we meet every Thursday at 5 PM for walks designed to accommodate all abilities. This program, tailored primarily for individuals aged 55 and over, provides a supportive environment for those navigating bereavement, social isolation, and post-cancer treatment.

In alignment with the theme of ‘OpportUNiTY’, our walking group represents a chance to come together, support one another, and create new opportunities for connection and personal growth. Through regular walks and monthly workshops, which cover diverse topics such as Autism, Dementia, suicide awareness with PIPS, and PSNI/PCP, we aim to foster a sense of community and shared understanding.

Our sessions are more than just physical activity—they are about building resilience, reducing isolation, and celebrating the opportunities for improvement and support within our community.
