Letter: Become a ‘walk leader’ in the Causeway Coast and Glens area and support your community
A letter from Oliver McMullan:
‘Walking for All’ is a community walking programme designed to help people of all ages and abilities enjoy short, regular walks in local spaces.
Colleen Martin is the Walking for All officer for Causeway Coast and Glens, and recently I was delighted to join Colleen on one of the walks, which are now taking place across Causeway Coast and Glens.
Events like these are a wonderful way to encourage people of all ages and abilities to take part in regular exercise. They are not only good for our physical health, but also for our mental wellbeing, as they encourage us to connect with others.
Colleen is now actively seeking residents and community groups interested in leading walks on a regular basis.
If you enjoy walking and would like to help others feel confident and included, becoming a ‘walk leader’ is a great way to support your community.
Full training and ongoing support are provided, and you do not need to be super fit or an expert walker, just friendly, reliable and enthusiastic.
To find out more about walk leader training or setting up a walk in your area, contact Colleen on [email protected]
