A team from one of our services had a ‘peely’ good day out as part of our Every Step campaign this year.

Every Step challenges people to take on a physical or mental challenge which pushes them out of their comfort zone, and the walk did just that – as well as being great for participants physical and mental health and wellbeing. 

Michael Holmes who leads the team at the Red Door centre said: “It’s great to raise awareness of our charity and our work, and we had a brilliant day walking to what is arguably Bury’s most famous monument.

“Helping people locally improve their health and wellbeing is a huge part of our work and this Every Step challenge was just one way of doing that.  We run a whole range of activities and information sessions so anyone wishing to find out more is welcome to drop into Red Door as we’d love to help.”
