July 2020
We are delighted to announce the launch of a new walking group in Midleton. The Midleton Community Walking group was formed by East Cork Community Link Worker Niamh in July, just in time to kick of Corks 2020 Walking week. The group was launched at Midleton Family Resource Centre with support from Cork Link Workers Eithne (Mallow), Brian (Ballincollig) and Sinead (Togher). The idea behind the group is to get people to step out and connect to the community and each other through walking. Sponsored by Healthy Ireland the group meets once a week for a fun and enjoyable walk, suitable for all fitness levels.
Getting support from others can help you stick to your walking routine so why not join up? New members are always welcome but due to number restrictions booking is essential. If you are interested in booking a space on the next walk or to simply find out more info, contact Link Worker Niamh on 0858625320.
