Shine Coaching

Our local walks started as an idea from our clients and volunteers — and it’s grown from there.
We partnered with Talk Ourselves Well and completed Walk Leader training through Re:fresh BWD and The Great Outdoors Burnley.

Since then those early steps have now developed into Trek Talk which include;
• Family Walks
• Dad’s Walks

These walks are helping men and families connect, get outside, and feel part of their community.

If you’d like to get involved and train as a volunteer Walk Leader, we’d love to hear from you.

A HUGE thank to our volunteers.

Looking forward to attending the Volunteer Fair tomorrow at Community CVS

As we celebrate 10 years of Shine Coaching, we’ve been reflecting on what truly matters most, the people.

This testimonial is just one of many stories that remind us why Shine exists. Behind every session is a person who chose to take control, to understand themselves better, and to create lasting change in their life.

We’re incredibly grateful to every client who has trusted us over the past decade. It’s a privilege to be part of that journey and to see the impact, not just in the moment, but in people’s day-to-day lives.

Thank you for allowing us to do what we do.
Here’s to continuing to support, guide, and change lives for many more years to come 🤍
