We are seeking people to train as volunteer walk leaders to lead organised individual and group walks in Barrow and Carlisle. Our aim is to encourage more people to walk with a purpose such as walking to get to the shops, to work or even to an appointment. Could you lead a 'walk to work' group for your organisation or perhaps you are a social prescriber looking to encourage others to become more physically active through walking for everyday journeys? Full training and support is provided via the Ramblers Wellbeing Walks pathway.
Why become a Wellbeing Walk Leader?
