The Grand Risers is a community interest group established to encourage, empower, and support healthy lifestyle and well-being among people of all ages, especially adults, in County Durham and the Northeast of England. As a recipient of The National Lottery Community Fund, we regularly organise and conduct early morning walks on Saturday mornings in Seaham, Gateshead, and Teesside. These walking sessions are to exercise the body, practice mindfulness, and most importantly; enjoy nature. You don't need to be an experienced walker, all you need is your pair of walking boots, a bottle of water and yourself.
