Hereford: Walk to School Week - 18 -25 May


18 -25 May is national Walk to School week - why not give it a go this month? Walking to school has lots of benefits from spending time together to leaving your child feeling refreshed and ready to concentrate once in the classroom. Find out more from our partner Stride Active. If you need some inspiration check out our blog walking to school and an active commute.

Walking also offers the opportunity to connect with others, learn new skills and spend some mindful moments taking in the world around you, which can help with feelings of depression or anxiety. It also offers the opportunity for volunteering - if you have time to give to others and would like to find out how to become a walks leader for one of the Wellbeing walks please get in touch, email hlts@herefordshire.gov.uk or phone 01432 383567.

Hereford: Families invited to enjoy new free Stay and Play sessions in Herefordshire libraries




Parents and carers of young children are being encouraged to visit their local library as Herefordshire Council launches a brand‑new programme of free Stay and Play sessions.

The weekly drop-in sessions will run from 27 April at Hereford, Leominster, Ross‑on‑Wye and Ledbury libraries, offering a welcoming space for children aged 0–5 years and their families.

Building on the success of the libraries’ popular Storytime sessions, Stay and Play gives families the chance to enjoy toys, games, crafts and stories in a relaxed and friendly environment and supports early learning and development in young children through play.

The sessions aim to make libraries fun, inclusive places where families can meet and feel part of their local community.

Parents and carers can find out more about the Stay and Play sessions by contacting Hereford, Leominster, Ross‑on‑Wye or Ledbury libraries, or by visiting the Herefordshire Libraries Storytimes and Stay and Play Eventbrite page.
