Walk On

Our bereavement support group, Walk
On, celebrated its third anniversary in
September.
Launched in 2021 by hospice volunteers and
our LivingGrief bereavement service, Walk
On offers those who have lost loved ones
a chance to connect, share experiences, and
find support, all while enjoying the benefits
of walking outdoors.
The group was founded by hospice
volunteer Dennis Tattoo and his wife Sarah,
in collaboration with hospice staff.
Dennis, who has volunteered at the hospice
since 2017, said: "It has been fantastic to be
part of Walk On and see it evolve.
"We have met new friends and have
enjoyed lots of lovely walks in the Suffolk
countryside, sharing conversations about
life and experiences of bereavement, while
supporting one another in the process.
"Walk On is open to all and we always
include the all-important cake and coffee
stop with each of our Walk On meets!
Anyone interested in learning more about
our walks is encouraged to look at the
hospice website."
Walk On has explored various local spots,
including Ipswich Waterfront, Felixstowe
and Woodbridge.
The weekly walks range from three to six
miles, with a longer walk offered monthly on
weekends.
