A Celebration Day for Our “Wellbeing Walks” Leaders
The LED Active Communities Team recently had the joy of bringing our amazing East Devon Walk This Way volunteer leaders together for a special celebration day — a chance to say thank you and reflect on the great work they do for our community.
A Beautiful Walk in Budleigh Salterton
We met at The Holt Cricket Club in Budleigh Salterton, where the day began with a gentle, scenic walk. Surrounded by fresh air and beautiful views, our leaders had the perfect chance to relax, reconnect, and exchange stories from their walking groups. It was inspiring to hear how their dedication has helped people grow in confidence, build friendships, and stay active throughout the year.
Sharing a Meal and Celebrating Achievements
After the walk, everyone returned to The Holt to enjoy a lovely meal together. This was a real highlight of the day — full of conversation, laughter, and appreciation for the hard work our volunteer leaders put in every week.
We also took the opportunity to give out some well-deserved prizes, recognising the enthusiasm, commitment, and kindness our leaders bring to their groups.
A Fun Game to Finish the Day
To round off the celebrations, we played a lively game of Heads or Tails, which brought plenty of smiles and friendly competition. It was a simple but fun way to end a meaningful day together.
Our Walk This Way leaders are at the heart of everything we do. Their support helps people stay active, feel connected, and enjoy the wellbeing benefits that come from walking together. This celebration day was just a small token of our gratitude.
Thank you to every one of our leaders for your energy, compassion, and commitment. We look forward to another year of walking, laughing, and building community — side by side.
