Walking isn’t only good for our physical, social and mental health. It’s also good for our communities, the environment and the economy.
We support and inspire people in Scotland to walk and wheel more.
Walk. Connect. Change your world.
The top destination for walking tips, tools and inspiration.
Lynsey began volunteering as a Walk Leader when she had some spare time. Now she can’t imagine her life without it.
The group is welcoming to all, exploring new routes to keep things interesting and suitable for a range of abilities.
“To see them getting out and about trying new things…it’s just wonderful.”
Volunteering as a Walk Leader has given Lynsey plenty of confidence. She’s enjoying watching the group members build their own confidence week on week too. As well as the walks, the group do other social activities together, exploring the local area.
