50/50 WALK AND TALK GROUP

The 50 to 50 Walk & Talk Group is a leading West Belfast community initiative dedicated to improving mental and physical wellbeing through the simple power of walking and conversation. Founded ahead of Gerard Mulhern’s 50th birthday as a personal challenge, the group has grown into a thriving seven-day-a-week movement that brings people together from across the community. Guided by the motto, “It’s Good to Walk, Better to Talk,” the group promotes connection, support, and positive mental health. Entirely non-funded, it has raised almost £200,000 for over 30 local charities while organising events such as the annual “Out of the Darkness – A Walk of Hope.”
