Community Involvement: Inner Sunshine CIC actively engages with the local community. It organises events, workshops, and outreach programs to make its services accessible to all. Community involvement fosters a sense of belonging and support among participants.

Walking for Wellbeing: Inner Sunshine run walking groups to promote a positive impact on mental wellbeing. For example, walking can reduce stress and anxiety levels by releasing endorphins, the body's natural stress-relievers. It also is a mood enhancement as it can boost mood and alleviate symptoms of depression by increasing the production of serotonin and reducing cortisol levels.
