Isolation

Now The Weather’s Improving, Why Not Try Our Walking Buddies Scheme?

27/02/2021 by Frances Greenwood 1 Comment

Our Walking Buddies Scheme has been set up to introduce people to others who would like some company on their daily exercise! Lockdown has left a lot of people feeling isolated, so if you’re interested in meeting other people to go and get some fresh air with, why not join up to the scheme.

Just fill in your details on our form here and give us your preferences on the type of walks you like, and the distances and we’ll match you up with another local person who has similar goals. We live in such a beautiful place, and there’s a lot of positives to be taken from seeing the signs of spring which are everywhere now! Thank you to Helen Hayton for the beautiful photograph.

Obviously lockdown rules still apply, so you should only meet outdoors, and social distancing should apply at all times. You should re-arrange your walk if you have any symptoms of Covid-19 or have been advised to isolate by any medical professional. It’s important to make sure you keep yourself safe, as we are not able to provide walk leaders or anything at this time due to restrictions. It’s important to wear suitable clothing for the weather and take along a snack and a drink to keep your energy up. It’s a good idea to tell someone else who you are meeting and where, and avoid walking in remote places too.

Feeling Isolated? Join Our Walking Buddies Scheme!

We know that there are a lot of people out there who are feeling very isolated by the lockdown at the moment, and have been thinking about what we can do to help! The lack of social contact is getting to us all, but it must be particularly tough for those who live alone, or are far from their families.

Current lockdown rules mean that you are allowed to meet one other person within your local area for some exercise. We know that there are a lot of people who are in the same boat, who might just benefit from some fresh air, a chat and some exercise.

So, if you would be interested in being paired up with someone else locally to meet for a walk and a chat, then add your details to the form below. We’ll then contact you when there is a suitable match and give you each others details to arrange a walk.

This service of connecting people is being provided by us at here at Penistone Leisure Centre, but we aren’t able to offer a walk leader or anything more due to current restrictions, so it should be noted that you are responsible for your own safety whilst meeting your walk buddy. Social distancing MUST be maintained at all times, and you should not attend arranged walks if you are displaying any of the symptoms of Covid-19.

It’s also advisable to agree a route/time before you go to meet up and tell someone else your planned route. Always carry a mobile phone, and wear warm and suitable clothing.

To join the scheme, please add your details to the form below and we’ll be in touch!

Walking Buddies Scheme

  • I understand that my details will be passed to another local person for the purpose of arranging a socially distanced walk together as per the scheme mentioned above, and that I will also receive their details too.
    I understand that when I meet up with my walking buddy, I am responsible for my own safety and that it is my own responsibility to adhere to Covid guidelines at all times.
    I understand that I can ask for my details to be removed from the database at any point by emailing data@penistoneleisurecentre.org.uk
