Healthy Walks with GCDA

Join GCDA on some Zoom sessions taking place each week so we can keep active and enjoy each other’s company whilst in lockdown. More information and Zoom links to join sessions are on http://beinspiredlewisham.org/

GCDA have

Walk and Talk – enjoy our beautiful parks and some chat. A walk leader will be out in a park and you can join from your home (on laptop, tablet or mobile phone) or you can be taking your daily walk in a park near you (on a mobile). You can share what you see as Spring bursts into life. These take place several times a week and are 40 minutes long.
Indoors exercise sessions – Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10am for 40 mins
Nordic walking warm up – Saturdays at 9am (indoors then, head out for your own walk with or without poles ) then come back together for cool down stretches  and some chat at 9.45am

They have also produced a printable sheet  ‘Some ways to keep active whilst staying indoors’  that you can download from their website too and share with people who can’t easily access the internet.  https://gcda.coop/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/GCDA-PA-sheet-.pdf

We know this isn’t the same as walking and talking or exercising together in a group, but we hope we can keep in touch and enjoy each other’s company until we can meet again in person.

“My child and I have really enjoyed coming to Little Explorers. It has helped my child to get used to see other babies and have interaction with them, which has been really important for him after the pandemic.”

“It's absolutely fab to be able to have access to all of the Domestic Abuse services in one place and to just click on a link to get to the website.”

“The Children Centre is our favourite place to come, we have been coming here since my child was 6 months old, he is now 4 years old and is still enjoying! Well done staff”

“I have just found the ‘taking care of ourselves’ section, which is massively important for us all, especially compassion fatigue.”

“The help and support that my family support worker gave me was above and beyond, she was always there to listen to me and make me feel like I was good enough and I was being heard.”

“The Outreach Team have such outgoing, friendly and fun personalities and made each Outdoor Learning session a great experience.”

“The Explorers session has helped my child a lot with his communication and his development. It’s really been impactful for him; we are really grateful to have this opportunity to attend the session and meet other parents as well.”

“The sessions help my daughter with speaking English, as well as helping her to listen and follow directions. I am very happy, my baby is very happy, and I feel relief when I come.”

“The Children Centre is very beneficial for my child, she has developed lots of skills e.g., sharing toys and naming colours. Also, the staff are very friendly and helpful.”
