Special mention to James, a diamond of a fella who gives his own time up to clean the streets of dingle.
Keeping the area spotless so deserves the spotlight, you could all lighten his load if you used the bins or took your crap home.
Thank you James, it’s not going unnoticed.
Terry Hall suffered with depression from an early age, he was prescribed Valium as a child of 14 years old, he suffered all his adult life, but he managed to overcome his demons & spent his last years in a good place. A good man was lost today. He brought happiness to so many. 🙏🏻
Absolutely honoured to walk & talk with
@speedomick
& what a man he is. He only done about 5 miles in 3 hours just greeting people, taking photos with them & getting donations of people passing in cars. A true man of the people. His energy is infectious

So proud of these lads this morning, after the loss of a close friend, they arranged a get together to talk about there feelings & help with any anxiety, all finished with a cold water swim.
Studies have identified the link between cold water and stress reduction.
#NeverAlone
Another great walk with amazing people. Can’t stress how much these walks & talks are helping, above all else there’s new friendships being formed which helps massively for certain fellas who might not have had that support system around them before.

#NeverAlone
What can I say about about tonight, one of the most enjoyable walks since we started. I’ll be honest I started the walk with an issue I’d been carrying all day, within 30 minutes in the groups company & speaking openly about it, it was lifted off my shoulders. Thank you boys. ❤️
Everyone
@WalkFlorrie
are devastated at the news of Micky Lyons passing away on Wednesday evening.
Micky was an absolute legend & was loved across both the Southend & Northend of the city.
Condolences to Terry, George, Joey & the rest of the Lyons family at this sad time. 🙏🏻
Gentlemen if you feel you have nobody to talk to, well you do. We’re here & we’d love to meet you.
We have an onboard mental councillor for the more difficult conversations.
We have meditation & yoga for your well-being.
And we have links for employment.

Never apologise for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you’ve got a big heart and aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength.

Great walk tonight. It’s not about numbers, it’s not a club, we’re not selective. It’s about giving freedom to men who might need to talk (or might not) to lighten a load they may be carrying. Just these 2 gentlemen alone have made what we’re trying to do worthwhile.
#NeverAlone
Helping one another is an amazing thing. To be a shoulder for someone to lean on when it’s needed is an better thing.

Everyone has their own struggles, their own issues, wether that be in work or socially, sometimes things don’t turn out the way you want them to.

with the group today, laughter really is a form of therapy. It’s funny how a day out can revert you back to childhood. Each having their own story from visiting Delamere. Finished with a bite to eat in the new Visitors Centre.
