Walk your way to health!

We're supporting a new initiative which is about getting people out walking in our local parks and green spaces.

Walking is the perfect activity for maintaining your health for all ages and abilities and best of all you can do it for free! Delivered by our Stepping Stones to Nature team in partnership with the NHS, we aim to set up 10 walking groups across the city, with the support of local volunteers.

Walking in a group is a great way to start walking and to stay motivated. You'll make friends and discover new places to walk in your neighbourhood. Free training and support is provided, plus an opportunity to join our new 'Plymouth Walk Leaders' network to get routes, new ideas and share best practice.

Find out about our latest walks programme on our walk for health page.

If you are a local resident or community organisation who is interested to join or set up a walking group in your area contact Dean Blagdon on 01752 314449 or email dean.blagdon@plymouth.nhs.uk.
