2026 💚

Such an important campaign and something we’re all very aware of every week, every month, every year and for every one person that joins us - and especially those that give up their precious time to volunteer with us at Evergreen Active 🙌🏽💞

Almost 200 people joined us to walk or run

Over 90 people joined us in our other services including Menopause Support, Family First and Later Life Ladies Movement to Music 💃🏾

And because of the crazy weather, this was less than most weeks

We ALL have mental health. Just as we ALL have physical health.

As Mental Health & Exercise Coaches - we understand more than ever, that the minimum of two aspects of overall health and wellbeing go hand-in-hand. And that they’re easier to achieve when you have support;

💚 Shoulder to Shoulder
💚 With someone with you
💚 No pressure or judgement
💚 Everyone welcome
💚 Group support
💚 Nobody ever left behind or alone
💚 And for free, where you are

If you’ve ever worried that you ‘weren’t x y z good enough yet’ to join us - please know that we all believe that you already are 🫶🏽

And we will help you to believe it for yourself too 🥰

Take a look at our Group Pages ⬇️ & take that first step - you’ll never regret it - that’s our 💯 guarantee!

is coming to the Wakefield district & we’re super proud to support it on behalf of all our runners & walkers 🥳

From West Yorkshire Police;

“We’re working to make running & walking safer for everyone across the district – but we need your help to get it right.

Nationally, 92% of women say they have safety concerns when out walking or running, and 60% say they’ve experienced harassment. We want to understand what it’s like here in Wakefield.

If you run, jog or walk locally, please take 2 minutes to complete our short survey and share your experiences. It will help us identify key areas, shape the campaign and target action where it’s needed most.”

Please scan the QRcode below or click on the link to complete the survey.

Thanks everyone, we’ll share more details as we get them!

So on Tuesday, Paula grabbed her passport, left West Yorkshire for the day 😱😂 and headed off to that there London Town 🚆

Attending The King's Fund Conference on Tackling Health Inequalities 💗

Two major reports were published in April;

The Active Lives survey from Sport England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 reported that levels of physical activity in adults had risen again from last year, with over 30 million adults now regularly active. Fab! Interesting that walking featured very highly here👌

You can read the summary here ⬇️
https://www.sportengland.org/news-and-inspiration/england-getting-more-active-not-everyone-benefiting

Three days later, The Health Foundation reported that Healthy Life Expectancy (HLE) in the UK has fallen by 2 years over the last decade. You can read that summary here ⬇️
https://www.health.org.uk/reports-and-analysis/analysis/healthy-life-expectancy-trends-in-the-uk-a-watershed-moment

Both reports tell us that the people worst affected are those living in our less affluent communities and especially women within those communities 💔

There were some inspiring examples of what’s worked well in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and even globally 🌍

And a particularly sobering yet massively engaging presentation from Dame Rachel de Souza 🙌🏽 reminding us of the vital importance of children & young people’s health & wellbeing.

So many later life serious health conditions…are preventable 🎯

Yet, across the day, no real recognition of the amazing preventative work that VCSE organisations like us and our brilliant colleagues and local authorities across West Yorkshire do - at real grass roots community level and on shoestring budgets - before (and often during & after) official public health interventions take place

On a positive note - there is a load of great work happening and in the pipeline.

There’s a lot of disruption at the moment with all the reforms in the NHS and the 10 year plans - both nationally and locally - so for us and our incredible team, we carry on doing what we’re doing.

Trying to shift that dial 🧭 little by little.
In every place we’re in.
With every person we meet 🤗
Every week.

And for those of you that know Paula, you won’t be surprised to learn that the first person she got chatting to in the coffee queue ☕️ was none other than the Deputy Director for Improving Population Health at West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) - couldn’t write it 🤷‍♀️👏🏼😆

Thursday 7th May 2026

We know, district-wide, it’s been A Day 🗳️

For us, it was a day of Community, Connection, Nutrition and Movement - highly recommended if your stress levels are 📈

This morning saw our regular Walking Fit meet welcome 3 new people to walk, talk & explore the Horbury area with us 🌳

Swiftly followed by our fabulous Lightwaves Later Life Ladies Movement to Music class with Paula (exciting news on this to come!)

This afternoon brought 2 new families to our sessions in Knottingley funded by The National Lottery Community Fund - such good fun, kids are great ice-breakers for their grown ups to talk to each other right? 💞

Finishing up with the first of 8 menopause support sessions in partnership with Diane & Emily at The Art House Wakefield - with a wonderful group of women that we already know are going to be absolute rocks to each other along the way - and potentially beyond 🫶🏽

The 2 min Shadow Boxing to Spice Up Your Life was a sign ✍️😅👏🏼

It’s - please be aware & take care of yours

Move, Connect, Nourish, Learn, Share, Enjoy

And protect your mental energy, always🥇
