🚶‍♂️ Walk the Waterways for Mental Health

Supporting Bluetonic's and Nottingham CAN's Under the Bridge Project

​

Join us as local people are fundraising for the Under the Bridge project by taking on an inspiring sponsored walk—raising awareness and vital funds to support men’s mental health in our community.

 

The Challenge

​

Participants will walk either:

• 24 miles along the Cromford Canal and the full length of the Erewash Canal, finishing at the scenic Trent Lock
  OR

• 12 miles starting from Langley Mill, covering the entire Erewash Canal.

These beautiful, historic waterways represent more than a journey—they’re a path to recovery, conversation, and connection.

​

🌉 Why We’re Walking

​

Under the Bridge project is ran by Bluetonic and Nottingham CAN and is a local men’s mental health group helping to break the stigma and offer real support where it's needed most.

Our Under the Bridge project gives men a safe place to meet, talk, and build resilience through shared experiences and community-led activities.

Every step we take helps to:

​

• Raise awareness about mental health challenges faced by men

• Fund crucial support  and outreach activities

• Show that nobody has to walk alone
