Mindful Movers - mental and physical health support groups

Mindful Movers, Thornes Park Stadium Carpark, Wakefield, WF2 8UD

Description

Mindful Movers deliver a range of free activities to support physical and mental health / wellbeing. We are a friendly inclusive group open to anyone over 18yrs of age. Our group offers a safe space to be yourself, enjoy the company of like-minded people and socialise.

  • CORE - a weekly Walk & Talk session based at Thornes Park in Wakefield (Fridays 10-11am meeting in the carpark opposite Thornes Stadium).
  • Making Strides - delivery of accredited qualifications for those looking to get back into education, training and employment.
  • TRIBE - a theraputic intervention programme using reconnection with the natural world as way of reconnecting with your self.
  • On Tour - a monthly opportunity to try new activites and visit new places around the district and beyond.

  • We encourage our members to move more, have contact with green space and interact with peers, all of which have proven positive physical and mental health benefits.
  • We have also implemented an optional pre-walk 30 minute circuit delivered Friday mornings most weeks by one of our volunteers who is a qualified personal trainer and fitness leader. 
  • We also offer a Mindful Movers ‘on tour’ session each month (delivered using National Lottery Awards for All funding) where we visit a new venue, try a new activity once each month. This allows our group members to explore alternative green spaces locally and have the opportunity to experience new and different activities they may normally not have access to such as environmetal work, silk painting, water sports, sea side trip, visit to Wonkey Donkey sanctuary & Milligtons Magical Barn animal santuary.
