For our next Active Travel Adventures, we joined the photography and wellbeing walking group Snap and Stroll, where, we spoke with participants and explored inclusivity, family, and welcoming connections.
Have you ever been curious about what a wellbeing photography walking group is all about and what you might experience? Look no further! We spent an inspiring afternoon with Snap and Stroll at their Tuesday meetup in Peasedown St Johns. Where we had the chance to chat with the group facilitator, Adrian, as well as snap and stroll whilst we chatted with both longstanding and new members.
Snap and Stroll originated as an online group and evolved over time to an in person meet up in Keynshame. The Active Way have been working with Snap and Stroll since March 2023 to set up Snap and Stroll across the Somer Valley. Previously running in Westfield, Radstock and now Peasedown St John, the group meet every week to connect, snap and stroll. Read on to uncover the wonderful benefits of being part of a group like Snap and Stroll and why this unique blend of walking and photography could be just what you need!
In this video we meet Adrian, the passionate founder and facilitator of Snap and Stroll. Adrian shares the heartfelt story of how Snap and Stroll came to be, born from his personal journey with mental health. And how a sense of family and community has blossomed from this amazing group.
Next, we hear from Vicki, one of the first Somer Valley Snap and Stroll group members. In the video, Vicki shares how joining Snap and Stroll has been an important group to her during a major life transition. She shares the feeling of being welcomed and supported by this incredible community. Watch the video to hear Vicki’s story and see how Snap and Stroll can make a difference in your life too!
Finally we meet new mum Jess, who brings her four-month-old daughter Ellen to the weekly Snap and Stroll sessions. In the video, Jess shares her experience of joining the group with her little one and how inclusivity is at the heart of Snap and Stroll.
