PNE COMMUNITY AND EDUCATION TRUST
WALK AND TALK FOR
LILYWHITES SESSION
LAUNCHING
Preston North End Community and Education Trust has launched a new walking group for men and
women of all ages; Walk And Talk For Lilywhites.
Walk And Talk For Lilywhites runs from 10.30am every
Thursday, with participants combining the benefits of
face-to-face social interaction and physical exercise,
walking around Moor Park for the last three weeks
alongside like-minded people and PNECET staff.
There is no limit on participant numbers for the PNECET Walk
and Talk For Lilywhites group, however, those wishing to take
part must complete an online registration form at pne.com/
walkandtalkwithpnecet ahead of their first session.
The group is running in partnership with Walk & Talk 4 Men,
a men’s mental health support group that meets a couple
of times a month to allow people to chat in a safe space
without judgement.
The new PNECET Walk And Talk For Lilywhites group is for
both men and women, of all ages, while the Walk & Talk 4
Men groups, running separately to PNECET’s own provision,
remains for men only.
Upon launch, PNECET Health and Wellbeing Officer Hannah
White said: “We’re pleased to be partnering with Walk &
Talk 4 Men to extend our mental wellbeing provision with the
launch of Walk And Talk For Lilywhites.
“Walk And Talk For Lilywhites will provide new and existing
PNECET participants, both men and women, with the
opportunity to meet and enjoy face-to-face conversation
while reaping the physical benefits from walking around
Moor Park, a fantastic setting across from our proud
Deepdale home.
“The opportunity for participants to meet in person is so
important after the last 18 months and we can’t wait to get
the programme started.”
Robert Flood of Walk & Walk For Men added: “During these
times, it’s even more important to bring people together
to talk.
“With Walk And Talk, we can do this in a neutral
environment, shoulder-to-shoulder, and talk and walk. It’s
been so important to help my own mental health struggles,
and I hope it helps others.”
The first Walk And Talk For Lilywhites session will run
on Thursday 29th July and you can sign-up to join the
