Friday’s session will also include Thai Chi and a chance to meet local community services that might be of interest. 

Cllr Dale Birch, Chair of the Bracknell Forest Health and Wellbeing Board and Executive Member for Health, said: “It has been proven that getting out for a walk can boost your mood and reduce stress levels. 

“It’s a great chance to meet new people and representatives will also be on hand to offer support and advice. 

“Everyone aged 17 and over is welcome to attend, we look forward to seeing you there.”
