Karen’s story

I don’t know where my life would be right now, I was in a mess. My life meant nothing to me and I completely lost myself.
Walk Talk Action has given me so much hope for the future and has shown me that I can achieve what it is I want to achieve. The walking and talking groups have opened my eyes to a completely new way of thinking and approaching issues in my life in general. They are not just walks, or talks. The whole thing is a powerful method of getting people to open up about their problems if they want to.
They take your mind off everything and allow you to be free and equal – no one is better than you sort of thing. That’s why I like it anyway. There is a great atmosphere among all the groups and I’ve always felt involved. Just want to say thank you so much.
