Leader of the
pack
Residents aged over 18 can
volunteer to be a walk leader and young people aged 12 and over can
be trained as assistant leaders although they must be supervised by
an adult walk leader at all times.
Full training in first aid and leading walks will be
provided to all volunteer walk leaders.
The council offer 22 weekly led walks, seven days a week and
hold a rambles walk the first Saturday of every month except
December.
Walks are available to suit all abilities and walking paces and
walk leaders will be supported by the Newham Striders.
Executive member for culture, Councillor Jo Corbett, said: "I
encourage anyone who enjoys walking and meeting new people to sign
up to be a volunteer walk leader. Walking is a great way to
increase fitness levels."
