Wellbeing Writing Walks connect Moray folk this October
M
oray Wellbeing Hub CIC has been instrumental in increasing the ‘mental wealth’ of people in and around Moray for over 3 years through their community events, peer networks and outreach programs. The latest exciting and innovative activity to come from the Hub is the ‘Wellbeing Writing Walks’, which have so far taken place in Culbin, Elgin, Aberlour and Cullen.

Working in partnership with the NHS Health Walk Coordinator, Moray Wellbeing Hub wanted to try out a new approach for community
members in Moray to enjoy the great outdoors and to connect with others, inspiring self-confidence, wellbeing, and creativity. Participants would meet at the designated locations, walk through the beautiful autumnal surroundings, and enjoy ‘sit spot’ activities facilitated by the group leaders to observe the views around them. Then, where the mood took them, creative writing skills were explored either as a group or individually. Imaginations were ignited from cues such as Forest, Sea, River and Mountain.
