Victor Harbor has joined an international effort to reduce isolation and provide a supportive community for men in need of some company.

The Man Walk provides an opportunity for men to get together and walk and talk in a positive and inclusive environment. 

There is no judgement, pressure or expectation. Men just turn up when they feel like it, and walk with a group of blokes in a light hearted, safe and supportive environment.

The Man Walk started in 2018 in Kiama, on the south coast of NSW, and has grown into an international movement, spreading to New Zealand, Canada and the UK.

It started as a way to address social isolation, which has  been identified as a major risk to men’s physical and mental wellbeing.

The Man Walk provides a supportive environment for regular physical activity for men of all ages.

Organised by the City of Victor Harbor's Fleurieu Families team, the Victor group started last Thursday 13 October and will continue every Thursday morning.

Walkers meet at the Causeway Café, on The Esplanade, at 8am.
