Making everyday active in Gravesham

Hi, I’m Sam and I’m the Everyday Active Champion for Gravesham. I have a real passion for this community and I want to encourage people to become more active. Here are some of the great activities happening in and around the local area. If you would like to talk about getting more active around Gravesham, please reach out to me.

Reach out to Sam

I recently joined a lead walk for the first time to experience it first hand and share my thoughts with you all. I must say, it was a delightful experience. The walk was very accessible, the leaders were friendly and welcoming, and everyone who participated found it beneficial. The walk was rounded off perfectly with a cup of tea and a sweet treat. If you ever hesitated about joining a walking group, I encourage you to give it a try – you'll have a fantastic time.
