About this event
Event lasts 2 hours Founders, when was the last time you checked in with yourself - properly checked in? Founding is full-on. You carry the vision, the pressure, the highs, the doubt - and somewhere in the middle of that, it’s easy to forget about you.

So on 15 May, from 12–2pm, we’re teaming up with the Self Space founder-therapists for something simple but powerful: a Walk Club for founders who get it. It’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and the theme this year is community. We’re taking that seriously.

Come and move your body, share whatever's on your mind- or just walk and listen. Sometimes moving through stuff starts by simply putting one foot in front of the other.

What is Walk Club?
It’s good conversation in good company.
It’s therapeutic, without being therapy.
It’s about clearing your head, getting some fresh air, and reminding yourself you’re not doing this alone.

Led with care by the team at Self Space - the world’s first on-demand mental health service on the high street -this is a space to move, connect, and reset. Their approach is simple but powerful: straightforward, grounded support, whenever you need it. No waiting lists, no jargon, just a good conversation with a qualified person

Come as you are. Leave feeling a little more like yourself.

🎟️ This event is completely free to attend, no strings attached.

A big thank you to TRIP Drinks for making sure we stayed refreshed and ready to go during the event! 💦

Oh, and if you're looking for a digital founder community that really gets it? You’ll find us hanging out over at The Virgin StartUp Community. Come say hey.

Here’s what the afternoon looks like:

🕛 12:00–12:15 | Arrival & Welcome
We’ll meet at Hyde Park Corner Station – by the Duke of Wellington statue (THIS will be the route we’re taking), say a quick hello, and get ready to head out.

🚶 12:15–13:45 | Walk Club
A 90-minute walk with the Self Space team walking alongside us. Talk, listen, or just move at your own pace -this is your time.

🤝 13:45–14:00 | Networking & Wrap Up
We'll finish with 15 mins back at Virgin HQ, but if your diary allows, you’re more than welcome to stick around a little longer! Stay for a drink, connect with fellow founders, and take a moment to reflect on the walk, share any final thoughts, and say your goodbyes.

Full route details will land in your inbox next week.
We can't wait to walk with you.
