Hope Walks is a free walking group for people who have been affected by the loss of someone close to them who may have died by suicide – this could be a family member, a partner or a friend.
Spending time outdoors in nature can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing. Walking and talking can be a gentle way to help people connect and tackle the loneliness and isolation often felt by those who have been bereaved by suicide.
Hope Walks provide a safe space with opportunity to chat to others facing similar struggles.
There’s no time limit on grief. Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, you’re welcome to join us.
We aim to help people as they adjust to their loss by providing peer support and the opportunity to ‘walk and talk’ in the natural environment.
Our walks take place at Trelissick Gardens near Truro, and Lanhydrock near Bodmin.
When?
- All our walks take place once a month on Mondays at 10 am.
- We also offer a later walk in Truro during the summer months – Monday evening 6-8 pm every month.
Once you sign up, we can share our timetable.
How do I sign up?
The lady I was speaking to gave me lots of valuable advice to give my mum, listening to her story was so hopeful and inspiring. I managed to talk to my mum about dad for the first time that night and that seemed to help her open up too.
