Walking along the River Crane

On 2 June, 20 colleagues from Haymarket Media Group swapped their desks for the riverbank, joining LGOAL for a guided walk along the River Crane, right on the doorstep of their office.

The session gave staff a chance to see a green space many hadn't fully explored, despite passing close to it every day. Along the route, the group learned about the volunteer effort — much of it delivered through FORCE — that keeps this stretch of the Crane valley thriving as a habitat for local wildlife.

Fittingly, a thunderstorm broke partway through the walk. Rather than cutting the session short, it added to the sense of adventure, and by all accounts made for an even more memorable afternoon outdoors.

In Their Own Words

Feedback from the group was warm and immediate. Chloë Harman, Editor at MIMS and MIMS Pharma, Haymarket Media Group, said:

"It was lovely to meet you too and thank you so much for the wonderful walk. Lots of people mentioned afterwards how much they enjoyed it - we hadn't really realised what a beautiful and extensive green space we have so close to our office, and we were all really grateful to learn about and see some of the many volunteer efforts that help make it so special. Yes strangely enough the thunderstorm did make it even more enjoyable!"

Why It Matters

Sessions like these do more than offer a break from routine; they build mindfulness, strengthen wellbeing, and deepen people's connection to the natural spaces around them.

A massive thank you to entire Haymarket Media Group team for joining us!
