Walkie Talkies Plus

Wild Wonder & Wisdom C.I.C

A Thriving Walking & Social Community for the 50+ in St Austell Bay

Walkie Talkies Plus began in April 2024 as part of Cornwall Council’s Active Transport Pilot Project, offering weekly 3–5km wellness walks for people aged 50+ in the St Austell Bay area.

What started as a single guided walk quickly grew into a twice-weekly programme, helping participants get outdoors, stay active and connect with others.

Since then, it has evolved into a thriving social community that includes quizzes, games nights and twice-weekly table tennis sessions at Mevagissey Activity Centre. Originally supported by grant funding, the group is now developing a volunteer-led future through fundraising and new income options to ensure it continues providing welcoming, inclusive opportunities for older adults to stay active and socially connected.
