Callum’s Journey - From Isolation to Independence

Callum had recently started attending Andy’s Man Club support groups in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria. Callum started attending due to ‘loneliness and depression’ and knew he needed to change.

Tracks&Dales offers outdoor activities to all Andy’s Man Club participants, so Callum took the big first step and got in touch with us, as he has always wanted to discover the Great Outdoors, as he knew it would benefit his mental health, but never knew how.

After an initial chat, it was evident that Callum would benefit from time spent outside on walks and climbs throughout Cumbria. Callum explained he is lonely, and would like to socialise more through nature. Tracks&Dales explained how our structured sessions will enable him to become independent and safe in the outdoors, as well as help him meet likeminded people to share his stories and adventures with.
