New July to September Wellbeing Activities Programme available now!
East Kent Mind has released our latest Activities Programme, featuring a wide range of groups, courses and workshops taking place from July to September 2026.
The summer programme includes many opportunities to get outdoors, connect with others and enjoy the benefits of being active in nature. Our popular Wellbeing Walks continue across East Kent, offering friendly and relaxed groups where people can walk and talk, walk and watch, or simply walk with others knowing they are not alone.
East Kent Mind’s Wellbeing Walks are available in Herne Bay, Margate and Ramsgate, giving people the chance to enjoy the local area, meet new people and spend time outside in a supportive environment. Walking can be a simple but powerful way to support mental health and wellbeing, combining gentle activity with social connection and time in nature.
The programme also includes Walking for Wellbeing in Whitstable, hosted by Revival Food & Mood on Sunday mornings. The group offers another opportunity to get outside, meet new friends and connect with the local community.
For those who enjoy gardening and green spaces, East Kent Mind continues to offer Gardening at Kent Community Oasis Garden in Canterbury. Based at the University of Kent, the group takes place on Wednesdays and Fridays and offers a welcoming space for people to enjoy gardening, grow their confidence and build friendships. It is open to everyone who would like to spend time in nature and be part of an inclusive community.
