Every Friday morning 10.30 am-12 noon meet
This Walking Group was established in July 2009. We have just celebrated its 6th anniversary of the founding of group at the KwokMan restaurant with 97 people attended on 15th September 2015. The walking group is led by a team of CHIC’ volunteers weekly. The aims are to promote physical mobility and well-being among the local Chinese population in Manchester especially those aged over 65 and enhance their social mental well-being. Since summer 2010 we have expanded the walking routes to other country parks within Greater Manchester areas. The group started with less than 10 people and the number of participants increased every year. Currently there are 106 members on the list. Since April 2015 on average about 40 people took part in the weekly walk. It has been recorded that 60 participants took part in one of the recent walks.
The verbal feedbacks from the participants were very encouraging that such activity had given them a lot of joys and happiness. This was also an opportunity for them to meet others, in particularly for those who live alone. They also claimed it would be impossible for them to go to these beautiful places without being led.
65+長者漫向健康自助步行組推廣活躍人生,更加健康!
這個小組於2009年7月成立，而我們剛於9月15日在國民樓慶祝其成立六週年慶典，有97人參與。這小組每周五早上10時半由中心一隊義工們帶領。主要目的是向65歲以上的華人長者推廣體能活動、改善健康，建立步行習慣、促進社區融入及安康。自2010年夏季我們將步行的路綫擴大至大曼城區的郊外公園以增加步行的樂趣。從長者們口中對這步行組的評價非常之好特別是那些居住在‘您的東昇’房屋協會及曼城周邊的獨居長者。他們稱若沒有人帶隊去步行有很多的地方是絕不可能自己去行，他們雖然住在曼城有幾十年也不知道原來曼城有這麼多美麗的地方行步行組開始時只有10多人，現時名單增至106人。自今年4月每周約有40人參加步行。而最近一次的步行記録則有60人參加。
