Janice Cook and Jeremy Ward are Golding customers who’ve benefited from some of the wellbeing projects we support. They are now firm friends and are helping people in their communities to be more active. You can watch their story below and find out how they became ambassadors for the Mason Mile.

So, if your good intentions for the new year have already faded and you need some support to get active, why not make contact with our partners, The Mason Mile? We’re funding their Family Mile programme again this year to help people throughout our communities in Maidstone and beyond to become happier, healthier, and more active together.

The Family Mile brings together like-minded people to do ‘Their Mile, Their Way’, providing a nudge into gentle, fun, and easy to do exercise, so that people can ‘walk and talk’ their way to a healthier lifestyle.

Chief Executive of the Family Mile Anna Skeats said: “We’d like to say a huge thank you to Golding Homes for not only funding The Family Mile programme, but for their enthusiasm in encouraging customers to embed our Mile ethos within their lives.

Golding Homes funded The Family Mile pilot in Maidstone which was pivotal in forming the blueprint for our growth. A large part of our success is therefore down to their decision to fund The Family Mile’s vision and their help signposting individuals like Jan and Jem to The Mason Mile charity. We’re delighted to have made such a difference to people’s lives together, and we hope to continue this, one mile at a time.”

The one-mile routes are delivered in the community, for the community, by a dedicated team of local volunteer Ambassadors, like Janice and Jeremy who are supported to create and lead unique and engaging Miles for local families to enjoy.

You could even become an ambassador yourself, which is a fantastic way to make a difference to your local community, supporting people to move more, while improving your own wellbeing and connecting with nature.
