Health Walks are a supportive and welcoming way for you to start to enjoy the many benefits of being physically active
Paths for All support a network of community Health Walk projects all over Scotland that organise free group walks every week, and are always looking for new walkers.
A Health Walk:
- is led by a trained volunteer on a risk assessed route
- is less than an hour long
- has a short warm up at the start, followed by a brisk walk and then a short cool down at the end
- welcomes new walkers who would benefit from being more active
- is a friendly group walk offered regularly
- is an opportunity to meet new people in your area and explore places you might not have been before
Health Walks are aimed at inactive people who would benefit most from doing more physical activity or those that just want to get active and meet new people.
Health walkers can enjoy a whole range of benefits including increased fitness, improved mood and increased social interactions with local people and the local area. Walking requires no special equipment or expense and is the ideal way for most people to become more active.
Paths for All supports Health Walks across Scotland by providing training, funding, resources and guidance to Health Walk projects.
