Walking for Health Group

Walking in a group is a great way to start walking and to stay motivated. We offer three walking grades for strollers, steppers and striders and meet on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month. Everybody welcome. Please see the attached leaflet for contact details.

Loudwater Studio

- Loudwater Studio is part of Vision Homes Association, a charity that supports people with visual impairments and other complex disabilities to lead full and active lives. The studio has run for over ten years and is a safe and exciting environment where people can express themselves through creativity. Loudwater is available to artists and community groups across the region, as a meeting place, a space in which to create and somewhere to be inspired by other like-minded people. Please see the link below.
