Susan shares her experience of volunteering as a Health Walk Leader

“Going out for a walk every day put things into perspective.”

Susan began walking a few years ago to support her own health when she was looking after a family member.

Since then, her love for walking has continued to grow, leading her to volunteer as a Walk Leader. Now, Susan leads weekly group walks, getting to know those in her community. 



Susan loves the social elements of the walking group. With a wide range of ages attending, it’s a great way to meet new people. She’s learnt plenty about her local area from others in the group too. The group stay enthusiastic even when faced with poor weather. They don’t let wind or rain stop them from getting out.
