Gentle Steps – Women’s Movement Collective is a community walking group based in Whalley Range, creating welcoming spaces for women to connect through gentle movement, conversation and shared experiences in nature.
This walk is open to women of all abilities and is designed to be accessible, relaxed and beginner-friendly, with a focus on wellbeing and building confidence in outdoor spaces. We walk at a gentle pace through Alexandra Park, creating opportunities for connection, reflection and belonging.
As part of the GM Walking Festival, this walk aligns with the theme of connected communities by bringing together women from diverse backgrounds across Manchester, supporting social connection, reducing isolation and creating a sense of shared space and community.
Gentle Steps aims to create inclusive, low-pressure environments where women can feel supported, build relationships and reconnect with themselves and their local surroundings.
