Walks for the mind – dementia-friendly walks around Erewash

More dates have been added to the popular Dementia friendly walk events.

The walks, organised by Erewash Borough Council’s Sport and Health Development team, are an ideal opportunity for individuals with Dementia to spend quality time with their loved ones and enjoy the benefits of light outdoor exercise.

Following the success of the walks, additional dates have been added for those who missed the first group of walks and for those who wish to participate again. 

Residents should meet at the entrance gates of Victoria Park in Ilkeston at 1pm for what is estimated to be a 30 minute stroll, however walkers can take as long as they need.  Participants can go at their own pace and will be led by qualified walk leaders. The walks are short, accessible and wheelchair-friendly. Refreshments will be available afterwards.
