Welcome to Stepping Out with Carers

"For some carers it is the only exercise or chance to really get out into the fresh air that they have each month, so they really look forward to it. Often walks involve information about the area, including the history, which is always appreciated."

"Absolutely loved it. The scenery, the deer, the gardens, everything was perfect! The volunteers looked after us so well and were very knowledgeable"

"I always tell new girls who come on Stepping Out walks that when they go home on the minibus they’ll feel just like you do when you see a fabulous musical. Happy and lighter. The memory keeps you going for days. And some of the girls, by the way, are over 90."

“The walks have been a lifeline to me. It was recommended to me when I was suffering depression after the death of my husband. The lovely places we go with Stepping Out, the physical activity and being with such nice people has done wonders for me. I don’t need to see my GP any more about depression.”
