Hi, my name is Mirka Marri, and I am the Find Your Active Place Navigator for West Essex (Epping Forest, Harlow and Uttlesford).
I have had the pleasure to do this role for three and a half years and in that time, have been passionate about promoting the fantastic #FindYourActive campaign. I support people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds across West Essex communities, to find an activity which they are interested in, but understand it can be difficult to take that first step. I‘d be happy to meet you at a class and introduce you to the instructor—it’s a great way to start building connections within your community. I also work very closely with many colleagues in a variety of services, and we help to organise community days and share information about activities, where you can experience free taster sessions which makes for successful events! My personal journey has centred around enhancing my health and wellbeing through exploring different activities, ones I can confidently recommend to others in the West Essex area. I have recently started my Couch to 5k journey, and I have a WhatsApp group where we encourage each other. The group is one which encourages and supports each other at whatever stage of running you are at – so please contact me if you’d like to join! As part of the Active Essex #FindYourActive #MoveForYourMind campaign, I’m here to help you get moving, whether it’s walking, boxing, dancing or paddleboarding—to boost your physical and mental wellbeing and build resilience against daily stress. Don’t hesitate to contact or reach out to me, I am here to support you. |
