ACH Group’s new retirement living walking groups are bringing residents together for gentle, guided walks that support both physical and cognitive wellbeing.🚶‍♀️

The walking groups offer more than just exercise. It’s motivation, social connection, and a chance to catch up with friends.

Last week, during Brain Awareness Week, residents were reminded that supporting brain health doesn’t have to be complicated - sometimes it’s as simple as putting one foot in front of the other. 👣

For Helena, staying active is deeply personal and she was quick to join her local group in Marden. Both of her parents lived with dementia, shaping her commitment to looking after her brain and body.

💬“I love to read, do puzzles and play solitaire but I always find those things so much easier after a walk,” she says.

✨ A powerful reminder that small, everyday habits, and a few extra steps, can make a big difference to our brain health. 🧠💪
