Have you heard about Venturing Out’s Carers Adventure Wellbeing Group? This group is about adventurous activities, offering a break from the caring routine and a setting for social connection. Activities have included cooking in the woods, climbing rock faces, paddleboarding & kayaking in Musselburgh Lagoons and exploring East Lothian on foot and bike with coastal and countryside walks and trail cycles. The new programme of activities for the group has just been launched. You can view it by clicking the link below. The programme includes bushcraft, water activities, orienteering, walking, cycling and climbing.
Venturing Out Carers Adventure Wellbeing Group – Programme of Activities
Claire Mackenzie says about the group “This is a space where people really get what it means to be a carer. People do not need to come and speak about what is happening in life, with many group members reporting that simply taking part alongside others that they know “get it” is a comfort and very powerful for them. What Venturing Out hoped would happen is that the new connections that would grow outside of the group. Some group members now meet away from the group to walk and cycle and, rather impressively, have recently completed another Munro together!”
