About your group

How did your group start, and what inspired you to create it?

Was there a moment, a conversation, a problem to solve, or a gap you noticed?

Roughly how many people come to a typical event?

Describe some moments from your group you're proudest of

Times the group really made a difference for someone: a friendship that formed, a first-timer who kept coming back, a milestone someone hit, a day that felt special.

What's changed for you and your members since the group started?

Think health and wellbeing in the widest sense: fitness and energy, mood and stress, confidence, friendships, feeling part of the local community. What do you notice in yourself, and what do people tell you?

Are there any learnings or insights you'd like to share with other organisers or locals?

What you wish you'd known at the start, what keeps people coming back, how you handle quiet weeks, or a word for someone thinking about starting their own group.
