DETAILS

At WalkingWomen we look to collaborate with other women led enterprises to provide more opportunities to women. When Sophia Brown contacted us to ask if we might do a walk together we were delighted. Sophia founded Steppin Sista’s to bring walking to women of colour in the Bristol area – she knew the benefits for mental health and she started walks for well being. You can read more  here The Power of Walking and why Steppin Sistas

Sophie recently came across WalkingWomen and she felt some Steppin Sistas might like to join our holidays as a next step. And Sophia , being a trained leader , could also lead walks for us and extend our collaboration to offering some holidays together.

November 8th is our first walk.
