Walkingtogether provides a range of wellbeing walks across the borough. Sessions are held weekly and encourage the user to increase and sustain exercise to recommended levels. Also promoting the benefits of exploring the local area, being in a green space and socialising.
We also provide walks of interest, which on average are delivered monthly. They provide a great combination of walking, socialising and learning something new, such as the history of Hackney.
In partnership with the Ramblers we offer training for people to become walk leaders, which is primarily aimed at volunteers.
The free walk leader training covers: walk planning and safety, managing and leading a walk, benefits of walking and physical activity and demonstration of a walk. Further details can be found on our website or contacting us.
The programme priotises Hackney residents and those who are registered to a Hackney based GP.
Clients who can not walk independently and or are a higher risk of a fall are encouraged to attend with a support worker.
