A huge thank you to Gerard from Ageless Performance for joining us on Sunday and kicking off our Walking Buddies community walk with such a brilliant warm-up and fitness demonstration.

Gerard brought great energy, encouragement and plenty of laughs, and it was lovely to see so many of our walkers getting involved. His tips and advice were enjoyed by everyone and helped set the tone for a fantastic afternoon together.

We're very grateful to Gerard for giving up his time and helping make the day such a success. It's support like this that makes our Walking Buddies events feel so welcoming and special.

Thanks again, Gerard — we really appreciate it! ❤️

Here's to movement, friendship and many more walks together. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️
