About WalknTalk
WalknTalk is a community-led mental health support organisation bringing people together through conversation, connection and activity.
We believe nobody should have to face their struggles alone. Whether someone needs a friendly conversation, a reason to get out of the house, somewhere to meet new people or simply a place where they feel understood, WalknTalk is here.
From mental health support meetings and Brew & Chat sessions to walking, running, dance and other community activities, everything we do has one purpose: bringing people together and helping them feel less alone.
About WalknTalk Mental Health Support Group
Our Story
WalknTalk began with a simple idea: nobody should have to struggle alone.
After experiencing first-hand how difficult it can be to find the right support when you’re struggling with your mental health, our founder wanted to create something different. A place without pressure or judgement, where people could simply turn up, be themselves and know somebody would listen.
What started as a small idea has grown into a community built around connection, conversation and supporting one another.
WalknTalk continues to grow, bringing support and activities into more communities while staying true to the reason it began:
To make sure people have somewhere to turn and someone to talk to when they need it.
What We do
WalknTalk is about more than talking about mental health. We create opportunities for people to connect, get active, build friendships and feel part of a community.
Our activities include mental health support meetings, Brew & Chat sessions, community walks, running groups, Dance Fusion and other wellbeing activities.
Some people join us because they are struggling. Others may feel lonely, want to meet new people, become more active or simply want somewhere they feel welcome.
There is no pressure to talk about your mental health and no expectation to explain why you are there. You can take part in whatever way feels comfortable for you.
Everything we offer is built around the same principle:
People supporting people.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create welcoming, supportive communities where nobody has to face their struggles alone.
We want to make mental health support feel accessible and human. Somewhere people can connect with others, talk without judgement, become more active and build meaningful friendships.
Through our meetings, social activities and wellbeing programmes, we aim to reduce isolation, encourage open conversations about mental health and give people a sense of belonging.
We believe support doesn’t always have to start in a clinical setting. Sometimes it starts with a coffee, a walk, an activity or simply somebody asking:
“How are you really doing?”
Our mission is simple:
Walk Together. Talk Together.
Who Can Join?
WalknTalk is for everyone.
You don’t need a mental health diagnosis, a referral or any previous experience with support groups to join us.
You might be struggling with your mental health, feeling lonely or isolated, going through a difficult period in your life, or simply looking to meet new people and become part of a supportive community.
You’re welcome to attend our activities even if you don’t want to talk about what you’re going through. There is no pressure to share anything you’re not comfortable sharing.
Come on your own, come with a friend, join an activity or simply sit down for a coffee and a chat.
However you arrive, you are welcome.
