The United Community Foundation’s fortnightly hiking sessions offer refugees and migrants a unique opportunity to build resilience, improve physical strength, and enhance overall health while fostering social connectivity.

As participants navigate varying terrains and enjoy the natural beauty of their surroundings, they challenge both their bodies and minds, developing stamina, endurance, and mental fortitude. These hikes also provide a chance to connect with others in a relaxed, supportive environment, helping to reduce social isolation and build lasting friendships.

The shared experience of overcoming physical challenges together strengthens group cohesion, while promoting well-being and mental clarity. By encouraging participants to push their limits and embrace nature, the Foundation’s hiking program promotes not only fitness and health but also a sense of accomplishment and belonging within the broader community.
