Dog Walking Group
We meet outside the Stanley Park Visitor Centre, or inside with our dogs if it's raining, in Stanley Park, West Park Drive, Blackpool, FY3 9HU, every Wednesday at 10.00am and walk until 11.30am. Joanne Fletcher and Max will welcome you and we will walk regardless of the weather. After the walk we return to the Stanley Park Visitor Centre for refreshments and treats and water for the dogs. We aim to provide a supportive, non-judgemental, outdoor, interactive dog walking and talking activity for carers and people with mental health conditions, with or without a dog.

Read our latest Newsletter
There has been so much happening recently we thought there was a need for a newsletter to keep everybody informed within the group. We simply do not have enough time at meetings to cover everything we are now involved in so we hope a regular newsletter will help bridge the gaps.
