What is The Beder Walk?
A Beder Walk brings like-minded people together for a family and dog friendly walk through nature in support of Beder.
Every Beder Walk is completely free and open to all ages as it’s a chance to make time for self care, put down our mobile phones and meet up for an enjoyable walk.
We advise a Beder Walk is around 5km, which is the same distance as a park run, where you set your own pace, but we predict even the slowest ambler will take no more than 60-90 minutes.
A Beder Walk can take place anywhere!
It was first launched in Richmond Park and it will always take place every 2-3 months in this area but should anyone wish to start their own “Beder Walk” around their local area or to support their community then we would love to hear from you.
We’re proud to launch and partner with The Brothers Trust for The Beder Walk and remain extremely grateful for their generous support.

As part of its mission, The Brother’s Trust aims to shine a light on and to help charities who struggle to be heard in the noisy not-for-profit sector.
Even though walking is good for us, we know a simple walk is not going to be a cure for ailing mental health. But it can be a start and a pathway to an ultimate cure and a more successful and productive life.
A Beder Walk provides with us with a chance to meet people in person. To chat with people who might share similar fears and circumstances. To laugh with others. To stroke a dog, find out its name and throw it a ball or a stick. Just to talk to someone in person and not on a screen…

Everyone has an opinion on what is the root cause for poor mental health. The internet and social media tops most lists and particularly that bullying now extends its reach from the school playground into the home which is supposed to be a safe haven. The smart phone has not been the great liberator it promised to be.
Classic bullying is physical. Being pushed around. But now in this internet age, bullying is much more likely to be loneliness, social exclusion and public humiliation. Experiencing such things can lead to dark and difficult places. It diminishes confidence and self-esteem and this compounds a downwards spiral.
Hence the Beder Walk.
