Walk Talk Action

13/10/2026

What a lovely day its been today, the Morning Brew, had a lovely meeting and chat! Then as I was about to leave had a couple of phone calls from those who hadn't been able to make it and was able to offer some alternatives meet ups!
It was nice to catch up with a few of the locals at the Retreat as well 🥰

Building strong relationships and making time to listen to people it so important. If you feel disrespected your whole outlook on life can feel negative and feeds depression, anxiety and isolation.

Today has been a great day!

Thank you to everyone and thank you Steven and Sue for a fab walk!

Looking forwards to the Wilderness Walk on Friday with Walk Leader Lee it's promised to be a historical walk with special guests!

A momentous celebration of the opening of the High Sheriff Mr Pritpal Singh Nagi MBE DL of Staffordshire's Crown Court today, a very important moment in our civic and judicial community. It was a real honour to be invited and meet some wonderful people. Lord Mayor and Mayoress of Staffordshire both commented on as did many others which I felt truly honoured. Walk Talk Action is truly something to be proud of and the team behind it are just incredible.

Thank you Aida Salkic Haughton MBE 🧡

Met some incredible people and organisations today at event! Making connections and building trusted partnerships with people, for the benefit of supporting our participants and growing our trusted network.

Looking for opportunities and seeing what is out there, it was great to hear an incredible talk from former SAS Soldier and his thoughts in leadership and belief in stepping out of your comfort zone! It was truly moving but equally a wonderful moment to see how so many people believe in the power of changing your ways and doing something completely new in order to change your life. I loved his saying about 'try and fail, don't fail to try' or you will only live with regrets. Really moving and thought provoking.

It is important to network and continuously meet new people as we each have different needs, goals and aspirations. It was nice to ask why people started up and a little about their journeys as we all have to start somewhere, and this type of conversation is where the real grit comes from - it's magic! Self discipline and motivation to chase your dreams!

You CAN do anything you put your mind too! ✨️

A very busy Tea & Toast this morning, we had Kitty & Rochelle from Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Liz from Support Staffordshire and the wonderful from a very interactive and informative session, people brought in some treasured memorabilia from Great Relatives and their stories that have been past down through the generations. One lady brought in an old photograph from 1919 and a handwritten letter! From military medals to military raf hair pins! It was a really heartfelt moment to listen to how they came to have them and the stories linked to them. Even their own medals and memories they remembered and hearing people rememise together. Alongside the and opportunities for Clinical trials and surveys done that have allowed people to highlight their own personal experiences from dementia to anxiety disorder there were so many to get involved in. The truck will be back in November and December if you would like to learn more about the clinical trials and research opportunities.

Thank you to Beryl and Stephen for helping in the kitchen today, and those who helped clear away at the end. It is always very much appreciated 🧡
