Penguin Wellbeing Walks

Penguin Wellbeing Walks are back at The Italian Sul Lago in Furzton on Tuesday 10 November, part of a regular run of walks around Furzton Lake. They're run by Penguin Village, a women's wellbeing community, but these walks were set up as an inclusive space where men and women can support wellbeing together. The whole thing is built around mental health, movement and connection, and it's open to everyone regardless of fitness level.

The walks go at an easy social pace around the lake, so it's more about the company and the fresh air than getting your heart rate up. There's informal networking after the walk, and an optional coffee to follow if you fancy sticking around a bit longer. It's a low-pressure way to get out of the house and meet people in the city, and since it's open to all fitness levels, you don't need to be a regular walker to join in.

There's also a charitable side to it. The walks support awareness for Prostate Cancer UK, and all proceeds from donation tickets go to the charity. It's a new community initiative in Milton Keynes, and the inclusive approach — men and women walking together — is a good part of what it's about.

The walks run weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 13:00, with the next one on Tuesday 10 November. They start from The Italian Sul Lago, Watling Street, Furzton, MK5 8AA, and head out around Furzton Lake. Tickets are £6.13, with donation tickets also available.
