Rosie recently joined active travel community connector, Charlotte Moran to talk all about Travel Well on BBC Radio Nottingham.
The interview took place a couple of months ago after NHS Health and Wellbeing coach, Charlotte, referred Rosie to a walking activity provided by Sustrans.
“Well, Travel Well has been amazing for me – because I was just existing. I was just sitting home alone – just, I don’t know, I don’t know which pathway I was leading down but Travel Well was introduced to me and I’ve never looked back. It was the walking – I had a walking buddy called Anna. She was amazing. We did three walks and the first walk was in St. Ann’s – to Stonebridge City Farm. I still go to Stonebridge City Farm on my own now and I would not have done that before.”
In the interview Rosie talks about the significance to her. She really emphasises the impact the walks have had on her mental wellbeing going on to say she is now meeting new people and beginning to want to start some volunteering in the community. Charlotte then discusses more about the active travel social prescribing pilot taking place here in Nottingham. This is a projected funded by Active Travel England.
The full interview is available to listen to below.
