Walking In Your Community

What Is Walking in Your Community?

PLEASE NOTE - THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO WALK LEADER TRAINING SESSIONS BEING DELIVERED BY WALKING IN YOUR COMMUNITY.  CONTACT YOUR LOCAL HEALTH TRUST FOR THE SIMILAR 'WALKING FOR HEALTH LEADER' PROGRAMME.

Walking in Your Community is an initiative to encourage people throughout Northern Ireland to get walking in their local area.  The initiative offers introductory walk leader training and other support to deliver a successful walking programme for local communities.

Walking in Your Community is designed specifically for community group leaders and volunteers as well as club leaders and community members who wish to encourage people to get walking.  Trained leaders, known as Community Walk Leader will set up walking groups and encourage people in their local community to walk with the group as part of a regular and enjoyable walking programme.

Walking In Your Community provides:

  • Introductory Community Walk Leader training
  • Insurance
  • Further training including first aid, further navigation
  • Online forum & networking events
