Thanks for the kind comments, have to say that today's walk was absolutely brilliant. I took a lot out of it and the feedback has been magnificent. It really is the best, being able to speak to people who do not get out too often, and seeing the interaction and social aspect of this is fab!
I will post next week's details soon. It is open to all and you are more than welcome to join us

I was the same BPP. Came over once a month to visit my granny and grandad, and in the summer absolutely loved going to The Glen. Particularly loved the wee cycle thingy that was like a wee high Street. Spent all day there and tried to makes friends with the locals. Just a shame, that I couldn't understand anything yon Fifers were saying.

I walk with the group every Friday. It’s a very friendly, welcoming group and the walks are quite short (usually an hour or just over). There’s plenty of opportunity to chat en route as the pace isn’t too demanding. We’ve been to some very nice, rural parts of the town and there’s lots of variety. I know for a fact that new folks are always welcome - Eddie, who runs the group, is always at pains to be inclusive and people are free to talk as much or as little as they like.

It really is a non-judgemental group who from the beginning has been inclusive and open to all, so you don't need to support the Pars to take part.
If you have a friend or family member that you think could benefit from a gentle stroll and a wee blether or maybe you would like to understand more about mental health, mental well-being or mental illness please feel free to come along - we are a very welcoming group.

Eddie, just a comment.
It appears that these walks all take place on a Friday at 10am?
I`m wondering if it would be a good idea to have them in the evening, perhaps alternate between morning and evening, so that those who work through the day, have a chance to attend?
It's bloody tough being a legend

This is not for me to decide, far from it, but as a regular walker I would be just as happy with an evening walk, as Raymie suggests. Obviously this will be rather impractical when it’s dark by 5 p.m. , but otherwise I think it’s a good way to make the walks as accessible as possible.

Thanks for your kind words Raymie and your support in this initiative.
I'm so proud that it is really taking off, we already have groups from NHS community rehab teams and assisted living coming along with some more interested. Not withstanding our own fanbase and local community.
The major factor in not going to more accessible nights or days is my own capacity to give a further commitment. My only day off is a Friday morning, however iam in discussions with the Pars Foundation to see how it can be broadened. What I don't want is it to grow too fast too soon as there is a need for trained people to be there for the conversations in case a mental health intervention is needed.
With all things at the club voluntary work is a must.
So I'm pleased to say that discussions about a phase 2 are underway after the winter, with another project in the pipeline as well.
As the weather turns we will have the accessibility of the stadium and I'm hoping this will increase numbers during this period.
Luckily we have a assistant manager in Kenny who has always stepped up to the plate, our Skipper Scott Thomson who abliet is normally late 😁 have been brilliant. Parfection provides our own mascot in Joni, who it must be said has a cracking DAFC bandanna.
Apologies to everyone who would like to do this outwith the time frame, we are looking at it just now to see how we can improve.

Even more than one dog, though not our regular dog, who was coughing too much to join us, sadly.

It was a bit impromptu, however as we meet most weeks in front of the memorial it was good to take the time as we we’re passing Sgt Hunters last resting place to pay our respects to the man and to tell his story and how it relates to the memorial at the stadium
As a pars fan of his day his story needs to be told regardless of ones viewpoint on the tragedies and futilities of war

I was at this morning’s walk, although I admit to being very sceptical an hour before meet up time - it was properly pouring down. I really wondered if I’d be the only walker there, but no, my fellow group members are made of sterner stuff. There was a good turnout as always and this is also great credit to the efforts of Eddie Martin who puts everything together. Thanks to everyone involved - it’s a lovely, relaxing and healthy way of spending an hour or so on a Friday morning. It’s a very welcoming, inclusive group and new walkers are always made to feel welcome.
