Volunteer Wellbeing Walk Leader Training
Friday 28th April 9:30am-4pm
Horsham Park Barn, Park Barn North Street, Horsham, RH12 1RJ
Be part of the Wellbeing Walks programme and discover how to lead walkers on a safe and enjoyable walk. This course is designed specifically for potential and existing volunteer Walks Leaders and will guide them to develop the skills and confidence needed to plan and lead inspiring group walks. Both new and existing walk leaders are welcome to attend – no prior knowledge or experience is necessary.
The aims of the day are:
To meet each other, share ideas, and trouble-shoot any concerns about wellbeing walks
Know that walking is good for us all, and a very low risk activity
Understand the role of a walk leader
Do a demonstration walk
Discuss and understand the practicalities of leading a safe and enjoyable walk
Gain the confidence needed to lead a wellbeing walk
Please note there is no expectation for you to lead a walk straight away, if you would like to start off as a black marker and work towards leading a walk, we would love to support you to do this. The trainers would be happy to provide further support and encouragement to help you get started.
The course will start promptly at 9.30am and we hope to be finished by 4pm. Your course leaders are Jill Shuker and John Mace.
Refreshments (tea & coffee) will be available but please bring your own lunch. A walk will be part of the day, so please do bring suitable comfortable outdoor shoes and clothing. We look forward to meeting you and having an enjoyable day.
