Our Steps Programme supports recovery through gentle walks. FREE service for people 65+ living in the boroughs of Hillingdon, Harrow and Brent.
Looking to regain your confidence getting out and about?
Our Steps Program is here to help people 65+ to take those important steps back into the community. If you've recently left hospital or find it daunting to go out alone—even though you can physically walk—this free service is for you.
Over six weeks, you'll be paired with a friendly, trained volunteer for weekly outdoor walks. Enjoy encouragement, companionship, and support as you rediscover the joys of walking and rebuild your confidence, one step at a time.
The Steps Program isn’t just about exercise—it’s about boosting your wellbeing, reducing isolation, and helping you feel more connected.
Get in touch today to take your first step towards renewed independence.
