My name is Dave Quincey, I am 51 years old, and I have decided to take on the role of Walk Leader in Newbury as I feel this would be a great fit for me and also benefit the community.

Having spent 35 years struggling with drug addiction, I know first hand how difficult life can sometimes be. Two years ago, following a diagnosis of COPD, I made the decision to turn my life around and break the cycle of addiction.

Now, I want to use my own experiences to help others and give something positive back to my community.

I believe it’s important for men to know that it’s okay not to be okay, and that sometimes simply having someone to walk alongside you, listen and understand can make a real difference.

Whether you’re going through a difficult time or just fancy getting out for some fresh air and a friendly conversation, you’ll always be welcome.

Please join me on a Tuesday Evening, 7pm, at Men Walking And Talking in Newbury.
