Step Out, Connect, Feel Good — RAHWM Community Walks
Healthy People, Stronger Communities Together
At The Real African Housewives of Manchester, we believe that wellbeing is about more than physical health. It is also about friendship, belonging, connection and having people around us who care.
Our fortnightly community walks bring women, men, families and friends together in a welcoming outdoor environment.
These walks provide opportunities to stay active, enjoy nature, meet new people, share conversations and build supportive relationships.
By creating opportunities for people from different backgrounds to connect, we aim to reduce isolation, promote positive wellbeing and strengthen community participation.
The walks form part of our wider commitment to empowering African women while encouraging inclusion and stronger relationships across Greater Manchester.
Everyone is welcome. Together, we walk for our health, our happiness and our community.

RAHWM in Action: Celebrating Culture and Giving Back at 2-Zero Manchester 2026
30 August 2026 | Community Engagement & Cultural Celebration
The Real African Housewives of Manchester (RAHWM) proudly participated in the 13th edition of the annual 2-Zero Manchester Kermesse, continuing a tradition of community involvement that has been part of our organisation since its creation in 2016.
Our members volunteered their time to prepare and serve free traditional African food, including puff-puff, kidney beans and bouillie, sharing our cultural heritage with families and members of the wider community.
For RAHWM, sharing food represents much more than hospitality. It creates opportunities for people to meet, exchange experiences, celebrate their heritage and strengthen community relationships.
Our participation reflects our ongoing commitment to women’s empowerment, cultural awareness, volunteering, social inclusion and community wellbeing.
We are proud to be part of an event that celebrates unity through sport, music, family activities and community togetherness.
Our commitment goes beyond words. Since 2016, we have continued to give our time, energy and resources to activities that bring communities together.
