Pocklington Fitmums and Friends

Pocklington Fitmums and Friends A friendly and supportive, running and fitness walking group for men and women (aged 16+) of all abilities.

Fitmums & Friends is a registered charity in England and Wales No. 1173919 Pocklington Fitmums & Friends is part of an amazing network of clubs which was started quite unintentionally in 2009 by a mum in an East Yorkshire village. She was missing the chance to make friends in the playground at her son's school due to working full time and so decided to see if any of the parents fancied a run. Five

mums turned up that first night and it proved to be the start of a quite incredible journey. Fitmums & Friends has now spread to South & North Yorkshire too thanks to the work of an amazing team of volunteers passionate to help others become more active and feel more connected.

It's National Loneliness Week, and we want to share a story that sums up why community matters so much.

Four blokes. Nordic walking poles. A ferry across the North Sea. And a friendship that started right here at Fitmums & Friends.

They walked 18 miles across the sand dunes of Holland, took in the sea air, got served beer instead of mineral water (repeatedly), and had the kind of trip that only happens when you've found your people.

Read the full story and have a little smile today: https://fitmums.org.uk/news-article/Nordic-Walking-Blokes-take-on-Holland/496

Because this is what happens when you show up, give it a go, and let community do its thing.

Non of the 4 mile group could face a sweaty photo tonight! It was a warm one, but a step up in mileage for a few of us so I'm super proud we got it done. Speed isn't important. Mileage with friends was what was needed

Beautiful but very warm evening for a chatty 5.5 mile run. Joined up with the 6 milers too. Well done everyone
