Maldon and District CVS are working in partnership with Active Essex to support the local community with activities to improve the physical health of residents.
This is achieved by working with local community and volunteer sector groups to make more opportunities for local physical activities and to help break down barriers for those who would like to lead a more active lifestyle.
Being active is good for our physical and mental wellbeing and as part of this project we aim to locate and support free and low cost activities across the Maldon District.
If you are a community group and would like to share what you offer or you’d like some help to set up a new activity in your locality, please get in touch on 01621 851891 or email justine@maldoncvs.org.uk
If you are an individual who is seeking a physical activity and would like some support to do so, please get in contact with Justine, details above.
There are many benefits to walking including both physical and mental health benefits. For example regular walking can:
Join us for a friendly low impact walk. Walks are very gentle and range between 1 and 2 miles. All ages and animals are welcome.
Our walks are in a central Maldon location, in Burnham and Heybridge.
For details of walks contact us on 01621 851891 or visit our events page.
If you aren’t feeling confident leaving the house on your own for any reason including a recent fall, illness or operation then Maldon and District CVS’s Buddy Walking volunteers can accompany you on a set of regular short local walks whilst having a chat.
Please call 01621 851891 for more information
Gardening is good for our physical and mental wellbeing. Our community garden volunteers are a friendly team who have helped transform spaces in the Maldon area. Head over to the Longfields Community Border to see the outcome of all their hard work. Would you like to get involved? You don’t need to be a gardening expert to join us. If you enjoy being outdoors, working with others and are happy to undertake light gardening work, we’d love you to come along! Working parties are on Tuesdays between 10am-12pm.
Please call 01621 851891 for more information or email justine@maldoncvs.org.uk
