What you can expect
A nice warm welcome, for a start!
The benefits of activity on both mental and physical health are well documented. Whether it’s getting a breath of fresh air, clearing the mind or just needing a change of scene – it’s a great thing to be able to get up and do if you’re able to. Those extra steps help you build stamina, improve heart health and burn calories.
But what we’re providing with our service is just that little extra.
Led by a trained member of staff or a trained volunteer who have mapped out routes, this is the ideal activity for people who have been inactive and looking to get out, get those steps in and have a nice friendly chat with some new people.
And you’ll be delighted to know each session always ends with a nice cosy cuppa.
We need volunteers!
As our programme continues to grow, we are always on the look out for people to help us.
The commitment may be small but the rewards are huge. You can expect:
- To meet a warm and friendly team
- Develop new skills through our training programme
- To take part in new initiatives such as Buggy Walks
- The opportunity to change people’s lives, by helping them come more active
To sign up, it’s really easy. Just contact Rhona Guild below.
