Join in with this event to learn about Health Walks, how you can set one up in your local area and the support available from your local Walking for Health coordinator.

Walking for Health walks have been happening in West Berkshire since the early 2000’s, with hundreds of local residents enjoying the benefits of regular physical activity and building friendships and community in their local area.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought challenges for many people as well as showing us the powerful impact of communities coming together to support each other in testing times. Setting up a health walk can be a simple but effective way to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of your local community now and in the future.
