Baby Steps is a series of walks for mums-to-be or mums with children under 2, who live in Newham, and would like to meet other mothers in the local area.
This new programme aims to provide a friendly and welcoming environment for mums to connect with each other through nature-based walks along a section of The Line. Each session will begin with a short walk along the river, introducing you to relaxation exercises, and guiding you in gentle movement. After the walk, we will stop at a café for a free hot drink and a chat with other mums.
Walks are free to attend and will take place between May and August 2025. They will take place in and around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford.
This initiative aims to provide a safe, inclusive space where new mothers can engage in workshops and nature-based walks, promoting relaxation, social connection, and overall wellbeing.
The programme will offer a series of free workshops and walks in nature, offering a space of creative relaxation along the route of The Line.
Baby Steps is delivered in collaboration with Vital Arts, and part of the Walking and Cycling Grants Programme.
Walking and Cycling Grants London is funded by Transport for London and The London Marathon Foundation, and administered by Groundwork London.
