Designed by carers themselves to provide the most accessible, inclusive, and rewarding experience.
We offer scenic, sociable, rejuvenating walks for carers and those they care for at magnificent venues round the country so that everyone can enjoy the uplifting benefits of Nature, exercise, good company, respite and adventure.
We have updated our walking programme for the coming year for all the areas we cover and there are still some exciting walks to be announced that we’re still currently planning. We will update this page on a regular basis and for 2024 we have some new walk venues planned this year which is so exciting for us, and we look forward to bringing you more Stepping Out with Carers walking dates as the year progresses.
As a carer you could join one of our exciting walks in 2024. You are welcome to attend on your own or share the experience with the person you care for.
