‘Mums on the Move’ is a new initiative organised by a group of local mums who attend The Merryfields Children’s Centre and is supported by Fareham Borough Council. Launching at Merryfields Childrens’s Centre, St Annes Grove, Fareham, on Wednesday 11 March at 1.30pm (no booking required) ‘Mums on the Move’ aims to improve both physical and mental wellbeing without the worry of childcare arrangements.
The new programme of free walks has been created to provide the opportunity for anyone who has or looks after young children (whether the child can walk or is in a pushchair) to walk along designated safe, pushchair friendly routes together, with other parents and child carers.
Executive Member for Community, Councillor Connie Hockley, said: “This great new programme will give the opportunity for anyone who looks after children (not just mums) a chance to improve their fitness, get more fresh air and socialise, with their children and other adults.”
The walks are led by at least two volunteer leaders, one will set a good pace at the front but one will stay with the more gentle walkers so no one is left walking alone. Comfortable shoes are recommended to be worn as some walks can be off road, but all routes are checked to ensure they are suitable for young children and pushchairs.
