Wellbeing walk on campus

Reading Men Walking and Talking are leading a wellbeing walk around the University of Reading's Whiteknights campus on Thursday 12 November, from 14:00 to 15:00. It's open to students, staff and community members alike, so you don't need to be affiliated with the university to join in.

The walk is tied to Men's Mental Health Month, which runs throughout November, and it's led by Reading Men Walking and Talking, a community interest company that hosts walks across the local area. Their volunteers will be on hand throughout the hour, so if you're curious about what they do, you can find out more about the other walks they run around Reading while you're out.

The route itself is a half-hour loop of Whiteknights Lake, and it finishes with light refreshments in Upper 3Sixty, the Reading Students' Union. There's also a bit of a bonus: their friendly dogs join as special guests, so you'll have some four-legged company for the loop.

It all starts at Palmer Quad, outside the Carrington Building on the Whiteknights campus. There's no need to sign up in advance — just turn up on the day. The whole thing runs from 14:00 to 15:00, with the walk taking up the first half hour and the refreshments following on at Upper 3Sixty.
