Walk it out - Redbridge

The environment

We are very proud to say this year we won a Mayors award.

The local economy

We have helped to build females confidence through our activities and support, therefore it has helped to get females back into work and to become positive role models in the community. Empowering females is essential to the health and social development of families and communities. When females are living safe and fulfilled they can reach their full potential and feel confident in applying for jobs and succeeding in gaining and keeping a job. Not only empowering females is the key to economic growth and social transformation but the support has helped improve their health and mental well-being.

Volunteering, jobs & education

As a group we have had the need to advertise for volunteering roles to help us continue and grow so therefore this has created more opportunities for females in the community, we currently have 8 roles advertised with Redbridge CVS.

Arts, culture & heritage

Bringing females together from different cultures has helped to share experiences and knowledge with another reducing isolation and crime.

Activity, health and leisure

We promote health and wellbeing by providing physical activities such as walking, we run various park walks across Redbridge which lasts one hour which covers approx 6000 steps burning approx 200 calories, there is sp many benefits to walking such as; Maintain a healthy weight and lose body fat Improve cardiovascular fitness Strengthen your bones and muscles Improve muscle endurance Increase energy levels Improve your mood, cognition, memory and sleep Improve your balance and coordination Strengthen immune system Reduce stress and tension Raise your Vitamin D levels
