UCAN Walking Buddies
Walking Buddies is a project to match a volunteer with an individual who may be battling with loss of confidence and/or anxiety. This project helps people get back outside, in the fresh air, taking exercise. Loneliness, isolation and lack of confidence are currently big issues for many.
