Witness the Transformation:
The Stories from Our Walks
Hear directly from the students, graduates, and corporate partners who have experienced the power of Campus to Campus Walks.
Our work is not just about talks and discussions—it’s about meaningful connection and building resilience. This is only the beginning, and the powerful feedback from our inaugural walks confirms the potential of this movement.
“It felt like a holiday packed into one day. Experiences that you would feel throughout the week or months that you’re away, you just felt it in that one day. Even now, to this day, I still think about that one walk. It had a lasting impact.”
​
“There were moments where it really resonated with me - where I felt seen. He said things you wouldn’t really say out loud, but when he did, I felt like, wow - I’m not the only one feeling that.”
​
“The whole idea of clearing your environment and talking things out gives you clarity - it’s like journaling, but you’re being more proactive about it.”
​
- Sam, Third-year undergraduate student
“It took me by surprise how open people were around their own experiences. Walking alongside somebody is the same as if you’re in a car-you’re not sitting face-to-face, and that makes it much easier for people to share.”
​
​“It’s about the opportunity to raise awareness and support students and beyond in terms of mental health. It’s about partners and stakeholders working together to make a step in that direction.”
- Anna, Early Career Specialist and Coach
“One of the things that I’m acutely aware of is that sometimes talking about sensitive and difficult subjects, if you’re in very direct eye contact, can be hard. But when you’re walking, it gives you that chance to just talk.”
​
“Listening to someone’s story and the way they told it so openly, made it easier for me to talk about my experience.”
​
“When you’re struggling, you can feel like there’s no way out and it’s never going to get better. So, to be able to share that I’d come through grief, OCD, generalised anxiety and a severe phobia which had all become really crippling for me – and that there is a way forward – I hope that helps others see they can come through difficult times too.”

-Paul, Organisational Development Manager and Coach, Royal Holloway, University of London​
"There were really powerful conversations. I think there were lots of people talking about stuff they otherwise wouldn't have done".
​
"It was that symbolic coming together of people with a shared energy towards achieving an outcome... one person can start a movement that drives real change".

- Sophie, HR and Occupational Psychologist
