Merseyside Young Walkers

We are a friendly and sociable group based in Liverpool with planned walks and socials around Merseyside. The group is aimed at people in their 20's and 30's

Our paths are worth £2 BILLION a year in health & wellbeing value 👀

But our access to them is starkly unequal 🚫

Our new research has uncovered the staggering value of paths in England & Wales & the cost of unequal #AccessToNature to our health 🥾 @NEF

Our fantastic Chair, Arron, is an absolute gem to walk with!

[RamblersGB @RamblersGB]

🎉 Celebrating our volunteers 🎉

“I think that as the chair of a Ramblers group, who is young, LGBT+, and working class I show that anyone can be a Rambler and that the countryside is for everyone.”

[RamblersGB @RamblersGB]

A Ramblers member since he was 21, Arron started as a member secretary before becoming chair of his local group a few years later.

Both roles are essential to making our 500+ Ramblers groups run smoothly so we can all get out & enjoy walking!

🙌 Thank you Arron! #VolunteersWeek

🥾 Group sizes will be increasing from 15 to 30 on May 17th, which means more availability for our members to join us on a walk, and get outside!

📷 as part of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek We want to see your photos from local walks that have helped you throughout the lockdowns!

[Merseyside Young Walkers @fillyaboots_]

🤗 Research has also shown that walking creates a unique space for young people which can help manage and maintain good mental health (Hart, 2021)

[Merseyside Young Walkers @fillyaboots_]

🤔 This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek.

🤓 Research has shown that spending 20 minutes in a green space can lower our blood pressure, and increase levels of positive wellbeing (Hassan et al, 2018).
