Summary
Every day after lunch, participants and volunteers from the Odensehuis take a walk in the beautiful surroundings.
Detailed description
The physical benefits of walking are now well known, but physical activity also improves learning ability and long-term memory. Exercise also has positive effects on mental health. For example, walking can distract you from negative thoughts, boost self-esteem, and make you feel better about yourself.
We usually walk in 2 groups: a group of participants without aids and a group of participants with aids such as a walking stick, rollator and in some cases a wheelchair.
We are looking for walking volunteers who are able to lead a group of participants together with experienced volunteers and/or an Odensehuis employee and who can easily make contact.
