Help Us Keep Solihull Women Walking, Talking and Safe

We are Solihull Women’s Stride Squad CIC — a community walking and wellbeing group created by women, for women.

Solihull Women’s Stride Squad began in May 2025, founded by three local women — Keeley, Emma and Vicky — who shared one vision: to create a safe, welcoming space where women could walk, talk and support one another.

What started as a single walk one Wednesday evening in Malvern and Brueton Park has now grown into a thriving community of over 1,700 members — all coming together to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.

Our walks are more than just steps around the park. They’re moments of laughter, listening, healing and empowerment. Week after week, we see women rediscovering confidence, forming new friendships, and finding the courage to share what they’re going through — without judgement.

We’ve seen incredible friendships form, confidence rebuild, and women who once walked alone now surrounded by conversation, care and community. Every message we receive — from women saying how much the walks have helped them through loss, loneliness or low mood — reminds us exactly why we started.

Our mission is simple: no woman should ever feel alone.

By stepping forward together, we’re creating a network of kindness, understanding and hope across Solihull.

As we continue to grow, we’re now working hard to build a strong and sustainable foundation for our CIC. To do this, we need your support.

We’re raising funds to help us cover:

Training for our volunteer buddies and ambassadors, so every woman feels supported and welcome

Roller banners, leaflets and posters to help us reach more women who may need a gentle nudge to join

Uniforms and branded clothing that help our volunteers be easily recognised and represent our group proudly

Advertising and awareness campaigns so that more women across Solihull and beyond can discover what we do

Every donation — big or small — makes a genuine difference.

You’re not just helping fund materials or training — you’re helping a woman take her first step out of isolation, towards connection, confidence and hope.

Together, we’re proving that community still matters — that when women support women, incredible things happen.

If you can, please donate and share our story.

Let’s keep the women of Solihull walking, talking and shining bright.
