Urban Ramblers
Urban Rambling is a community group for people with mental health issues that are residents of Tower Hamlets. We have been on various outings which include; Jewish guided walk, Wapping history walk, Route Master Tour, River Boat Tour, Hampton Court Palace Visit, Various Museums, and loads of others.
We meet up every fortnight on a Sunday at 2pm. The meeting point depends on where we are going.
Every outing is free and after the walk we all pile into a cafe and have refreshments.
We have been given a grant from Tower Hamlets Council, and so that covers the cost of it all. In other words each member pays nothing.
It is a great way of getting out of the house and socialising. The group is very supportive. Come and join us.
If you'd like any information, or to come along to future events, please email us a. urban_rambling@hotmail.co.uk
