We’ve been working in partnership with Newcastle City Council and walking charity the Ramblers to deliver free Walk Leader Training to organisations and individuals across Newcastle.
Walk Leader Training is designed to give volunteers and staff the skills and confidence to lead safe, effective and enjoyable walks – helping to boost physical and mental health and wellbeing.
The training course is designed to help individuals to feel confident when planning and delivering led walks within their workplace and community.
Participants will gain an excellent understanding as to how they can:
- Help people discover and make the best of their local area on foot
- Give people the confidence to walk on their own as well as in a group
- Welcome as many people as possible by keeping walks easy and accessible
- Involve local communities and organisations
- Show how easy; enjoyable; and sociable walking can be
- Demonstrate all the benefits of walking
