WALKS will take place across County Durham to raise awareness about mental health next month.

Stamp it Out, a mental health anti-stigma and discrimination project in the county, is marking Time To Talk Day on Thursday, February 1, with a host of walks.

All walks are just under three miles and will last approximately one hour.

They will take place from 10am until 11am in Easington Colliery where walkers are asked to meet at the former pit carpark at 9.45am.

The next walk will take place from St Paul’s Centre, in Spennymoor, from 12.30pnm until 1.30pm.

Walkers are asked to meet at 12.15pm.

And the final walk will be held in Durham City where participants are asked to meet at Waddington Street Centre at 2.45pm for a walk from 3pm until 4pm.

All those taking part will be asked to complete a health check form which will be provided on the day.

Anyone interested in taking part should email chris.affleck@investinginchildren.net for registration details.
