We had 33 people join tonight’s walk at Eureka Park 🌿

Really great to see! We’ve finally broken that 30+ mark, and the atmosphere matched it. Loads of conversations, new faces getting involved, and familiar ones coming back again.

It’s class seeing how this is growing week by week and how comfortable everyone is getting with each other.

Thank you to everyone who came along, you’re the reason it is what it is 👏

We go again next week!

We’ve put together a poster for Touch Grass ! If you’ve enjoyed coming along or like what we’re building, it would really help if you could give this a share 🙌

The more people we reach, the more people we can get involved and benefit from something simple like getting outside, having a chat, and meeting others.

It’s grown a lot already just through word of mouth, so every share genuinely makes a difference 👍

Thanks again for all the support so far.

Really proud to see Touch Grass featured in this month’s local magazine SwadStyle as part of a piece on community groups making a difference.

What started as a simple idea has grown into something genuinely positive, and it’s great to see it being recognised.

But more than anything, this is down to everyone who’s come along to a walk, had a chat, and helped build what it is.

So thank you, it wouldn’t be what it is without you all 👏

If you’ve been thinking about coming along, now’s the perfect time to get involved.
