On Saturday 10th May, 20 members of the Foundry team – including GPs, nurses, mental health workers, social prescribers and admin staff – took part in a special Parkrun event at the Lewes course. Some ran, some walked, and others volunteered as marshals and tailwalkers. Even retired GPs came back to join in!
The idea began in February, when the Parkrun organisers reached out to see how we could work together to promote the event to our patients and staff. The Social Prescribing team saw an ideal opportunity to support wellbeing in the community.
Parkrun is free, fun, and open to everyone – no matter your fitness level. It’s a great way to build confidence, get active and feel part of something positive. Whether you run, walk, or volunteer, there’s a place for you.
