Today's the day! Please ignore the spelling error- meeting at Roundway Hill not Roundstone (oops moment)

Meet point: DEVIZES ROUNDWAY WHITE HORSE CAR PARK (UP FROM FOLLY ROAD)

Start point: Meet at Roundway White Horse car park. From Devizes London road heading out of Devizes towards Avebury/Swindon. Then turn left at the TravelLodge. Go straight on (‘Folly Road’) passing the Wadworth Brewery on your right. At an old red phone box, bear right off Folly Road and head upwards on a narrow road. Where there is a fork in the road, keep right up to a car park. Here is the local White Horse: looking down onto the Roundway village from the side of its hill.

We'll be there at around 1pm and will wait for about 10 mins before setting off. Look out for Tanesha and Harry.

If you couldnt make today, don't worry as we'll be back for another walk another week. Text Tanesha on 07816 406 924

☕💛 A little reminder of the power of community!

Today, I went along to a Parent Carer Meet-Up in Devizes, and I was genuinely amazed by how friendly, welcoming and helpful everyone was.

One thing that really stood out to me was seeing someone who was completely new to the world of being a parent carer, and how quickly everyone came together to offer advice, share experiences and make sure they felt supported. 🫶

Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that make the biggest difference. Having a cuppa, a chat, meeting new faces and, of course, enjoying some cake! 🍰

It was lovely to see people connecting, sharing their experiences and reminding each other that they’re not alone.

If you’re a parent carer in Wiltshire, these meet-ups are a lovely opportunity to meet others who understand, have a chat and find support in a relaxed, informal setting.

💙 Leisure is for everyone!💙

As part of our People as Partners workshop, we’re exploring how leisure centres can be more inclusive, welcoming and accessible for everyone in our communities.

When we think of leisure centres, we often think of gyms and swimming pools, but they have so much more to offer! From social groups and community activities to spaces where people can connect, try something new and feel part of their community, there are opportunities for everyone.

💭 We’d love to hear from you!
-Have you ever had a great experience at your local leisure centre that made you feel included?
- What could leisure centres do to make sure everyone feels welcome?
- Have you ever explored what else your local leisure centre has to offer?

Why not pop into your local leisure centre and have a look? You might be surprised by what’s happening right on your doorstep! 🏊‍♀️☕🎨

Let’s start a conversation about making leisure something that truly is for everyone. 💙
