5-Mile Dog Walks for Wellbeing — With the Option to Get Sponsored

At Paws & Walks, we organise friendly, relaxed 5-mile dog walks that support both owner wellbeing and pet wellbeing— while bringing the community together.

If you’d like to go a step further, you can also choose to get sponsored for taking part, helping raise vital funds for small local charities.

Join Our Monthly Dog Walks

Our walks are designed to be enjoyable, accessible, and beneficial for both you and your dog.

Each walk:

• Follows a manageable 5-mile route

• Welcomes dogs of all breeds and sizes

• Encourages a relaxed, social pace

• Supports physical activity and mental wellbeing

• Helps dogs stay active, stimulated, and socialised

Wellbeing for You and Your Dog

Spending time outdoors with your dog has real benefits:

• Improves physical health through regular exercise

• Boosts mental wellbeing and reduces stress

• Strengthens the bond between you and your dog

• Provides social interaction for both owners and pets

At Paws & Walks, we believe something as simple as a walk can have a powerful impact.

Want to Make It Count? Get Sponsored

Our walks are open to everyone — but if you’d like to make an even bigger difference, you can choose to turn your walk into a fundraising opportunity.

• Ask friends, family, or colleagues to sponsor you

• Raise money for a charity you choose to represent

• Support smaller causes that rely on community backing.

Take part for the wellbeing — get sponsored to give back.

How Sponsorship Works

• You choose the charity or cause you’d like to support

• Any sponsorship you raise goes directly to that charity

• Weardale Projects Support Ltd does not collect or handle sponsorship funds

To take part in the walk, we charge a £5 entry fee + Eventbrite fee, which helps cover staffing and event costs.

Why Join?

• Improve your own and your dog’s wellbeing

• Meet like-minded dog owners

• Be part of a positive, supportive community

• Support a charity in a way that works for you
