Our friendly work parties meet up every Wednesday 2pm-4pm to maintain the Cemetery with planting, pruning and mowing. If you'd like to take part as a volunteer, we'd love to welcome you!
WildStrong Berkhamsted is running a 4-week programme in the Cemetery starting Tuesday 29th April 10am focussed on building strength and mobility for life. Sessions are low-intensity and focus on movements to help us keep doing what we love in life – time on the ground (and getting up!), balancing, pulling, as well as generally enjoying being outdoors and spending time with other people! Members are currently 65 but all who would enjoy this approach are welcome with no fitness level required. Sarah who runs the group has also partnered with Everyone Active to run Movement Walks from Wednesday 23rd April.
If you or anyone you know might fancy joining either, please do get in touch with Sarah on sarah.langridge@wildstrong.co The programme costs £30 and Sarah is offering free sessions on 8th April or 22nd April to see what it’s like.
