Haven Hub Walking Group

About

Our walking group meet several times per week. We established this group in January 2022 following on from the horrific killing of a school teacher in Carlow. There was a general sense of unease around the country that women couldn't walk alone for fear of being attacked by a man or a group.

We also wanted to challenge the idea that all men are a threat to women by involving as many men as we could in the group. Our group has always felt at ease with the mix of men and women and some great friendships have formed as a result of this walking group.

The added benefit of our walking group is that it's a well established fact that exercise is the best anti-depressant you can give yourself. So while our walking group is out exercising their bodies, they're also giving their mental health the nutrients it needs to grow stronger.
