“Walking Through Grief Barnsley” is a local women’s peer support walking community for those navigating grief, bereavement and loss in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, UK.

The initiative has been created to provide gentle, supportive walks aimed at reducing isolation and helping individuals reconnect with others in a calm and understanding environment. The walks are centred around fresh air, nature, quiet connection and peer support from others who may understand grief in some way.

The walks are not counselling sessions or formal therapy groups, and there is absolutely no pressure for attendees to openly discuss their grief or personal experiences. Individuals are welcome to talk, walk quietly, or simply attend for companionship and connection.

The private Facebook group acts as the main space for:

  • Upcoming walk information and events

  • Community updates

  • Peer connection and support
