Ryan McKeown,  Founder and Organiser, of "Walk and Talk" said: “Mental Health effects so many people and the pressure and stress of daily life can sometimes get very overwhelming and I believe this group will allow people to escape the reality of life for an hour or two each week and get lost in nature, air around the lungs and a great activity for the whole family to improve mental and physical wellbeing.”
