Episode 4: Walking Towards Wellbeing

In this episode of Voice of Hope with Kelly’s Heroes, we welcome Dave Askew, the inspiring founder of Northamptonshire Walks. After a personal health scare in 2013, Dave transformed his love for walking into a movement that has helped thousands improve their mental and physical wellbeing.

From humble beginnings, his blog and Facebook community have grown into a thriving network of 43,000+ members, with over 200 walking routes and 25 group walks a month—all designed to make walking accessible, enjoyable, and life-changing.

We’ll dive into Dave’s journey, the connection between walking and mental health, and how community-led initiatives can transform lives. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just thinking about taking your first step outside, this episode will leave you feeling inspired to move.
