A past project (2025): community walks in West Gateshead that combined fresh air, litter picking and time together.
This project ran in 2025 and has now finished. Our walks brought families, young people and adults together on accessible trails around Blaydon (NE21) and Chopwell Woods (NE39). Everyone was welcome, whatever their age or fitness.
Along the way we picked up litter, talked about recycling and climate-friendly habits, and ran small activities and team challenges. The aim was simple: healthier bodies, cleaner green spaces, and new friendships.
We used outdoor spaces and reusable materials for everything on the walks, so each day was low-waste.

Any future walks will be announced on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
