Join the Think Active Walk & Talk group in Grantham

Join a Think Active walking, dance or yoga support group, part of the Let’s Move Lincolnshire programme to support Lincolnshire residents with low mental health.

Evidence suggests that both physical activity and being outside in nature can help your mood and generate a positive sense of wellbeing, and what better way to move your body than walking in the woodlands or dancing on the Lincolnshire coast?

The Think Active support groups provide dedicated physical activity sessions for people living with low-level mental illness or with a history of poor mental health.

Grantham residents can join their local Walk and Talk session at Alma Wood on Wednesdays at 10am. See the full timetable of activities below and find out more and how to book your space on the Let’s Move Lincolnshire website. 

Each walking, dance and yoga session provides an environment for people to come together and take their first steps into a more active lifestyle, moving their body more while talking and sharing experiences to support low mental wellbeing.

“This experience was a wonderful way to release tension and emotions, feel connected with others again, be joyful and be free without judgement…” said a Lincolnshire resident, who took part in the Dance Free sessions on Theddlethorpe Beach.
