MedicAlert is the UK’s only charity medical ID services provider. We provide access to our members’ vital medical information in an emergency, to ensure they receive fast and appropriate care based on their medical requirements. The peace of mind of wearing a MedicAlert ID can support the confidence to be more physically and socially active, and to remain as independent as possible. This supports improved physical and mental health.
Wycombe Wanderers
Our Keep Moving Forward Wellbeing Walk gives participants the opportunity to meet a friendly group of people who are all on a recovery journey. The walk helps to keep people active whilst walking and talking with people who can support them. It is a very relaxed environment and we even stop for a cup of tea on the way around.
The Wellbeing Walk takes place every Tuesday from 11:00am – 1:00 pm and begins at the Wycombe Lido, just by the car park a little way up from the tennis courts.
There is no need to book on to the walks, you can simply turn up on the day, and there is no cost to take part.

A record number of people in the UK are living with Type 2 diabetes. This figure has more than doubled since 1996. Sadly many people will experience potentially preventable complications because of diabetes, simply because they don’t know enough about their condition and how to manage it.
