PURBROOK TO CELEBRATE WALKTOBER 2021
Walktober, run annually since 2016 by the Travel Planning Team at Hampshire County Council, is a challenge held each October to celebrate and focus the mind on International Walk to School Month.
A fantastic 163 schools signed up in total in 2020. That’s a staggering 61,225 pupils and 7,466 staff who got involved last year.
We are all more aware than ever that exercising and spending time outside enjoying your surroundings is great, if not essential, for your wellbeing. That is what the Walktober challenge is all about: walking to improve your wellbeing.
Walktober supports Hampshire and the NHS’s Five Steps to Wellbeing as evidence suggests that these are the five steps that we can all take to improve our mental wellbeing:
Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning, Give to Others and Be Mindful
