The weekly Walk & Talk leaves from Millom Safe Space (aka Tin Chapel / Pensioners Hall) around 11am every week.
These weekly walks are a gentle, easy & safe way to meet other folks, have a natter, take your mind off life’s worries for a while.
We’ll usually have a wander out to the coast and maybe round the sea wall or through the reserve, sometimes we only go as far as the benches by the pool – we want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to attend so we’re putting on walks you
