Health Walks, every 2nd Thursday of the month at 11am

Cancer has a huge impact on your health and wellbeing, which is why it is important to stay active when and where you can.

Join us from 11am at Weston Park Cancer Support Centre, where you can have a cuppa and a catch up before the walk.

If you are living with or beyond cancer, or if you are caring for someone who is, then you are welcome to join like-minded individuals and Sheffield United Community Foundation for a stroll around the lovely green space of Weston Park. It’s a great opportunity to get some fresh air and exercise, make friends and have an informal chat.

For more information or to let us know you’ll be joining a Health Walk, give us a call on 0114 553 3330 (option 1).
