👣 Friday Walking Group 👣

Why not join us for a friendly walk this Friday?

📍 Meet: 10:30am
(Carpark facing main road @ Longcroft Hall, Linlithgow)
🥾 Walk starts: 10:45am

The route will be decided each week depending on everyone’s ability and how much time people have available. There’s no pressure to be super-fit or fast — it’s about getting out, moving, and enjoying some good company.

🌱 Walking is great for your mental and physical health, and it’s a lovely opportunity to have a chat, meet others and enjoy some fresh air.

☕ We usually finish with a coffee somewhere local.

Everyone is welcome (Even the furry ones 🐶) — come along and give it a go! 💚

Do you have an unwanted bike, scooter or spare bike parts that could be given a new lease of life? We’re collecting donations of all sizes to support 1st Step, helping people in our community build confidence, learn new skills and gain independence. Every donation can make a real difference. Collections will take place on the first Monday of each month (afternoon) in Falkirk area. Drop offs are welcome at our Howgate bike shop. You’ll find our friendly bike shop in the Howgate Centre, Falkirk, next to Costa Coffee. We’re open Monday to Friday, 9am–4pm, and closed for lunch from 12pm–1pm. We’re also open on the first and last Saturday of each month. Pop in for a chat, browse our current stock and meet the team — we’d love to welcome you!
We also have a drop off point at Linlithgow Recycling Centre during normal operating hours. There is no need to book a slot as the operative will direct you to the 1st Step cabin. If you are unable to drop your bike off, please follow the procedure below and we will get back to you to discuss collection.

TO DONATE, please send a photo of your donation via the 1st Step page or email [email protected]. We’ll get back to you to confirm your donation and discuss collection. Thank you for helping us support local people.
