Research suggests that walking out in nature can help reduce anxiety and depression, with as little as 10 minutes being enough to increase alertness and improve mood. Walking as part of a group can also help to build connections and reduce isolation.

What to expect: A 30-minute walk around the beautiful Whiteknights Lake followed by light refreshments in Upper 3Sixty, Reading Students' Union
