Walking to Health Programme

I coordinate South Glos Council’s Walking to Health programme, which provides led health walks of ¾ mile – 4miles for residents of all ages and abilities across South Gloucestershire. A programme of led walks is produced three times per year and is advertised to residents through a range of media, including Libraries, community groups, health professionals, internet and mail out, to name but a few.

In addition to these other methods, your assistance with advertising the project would be hugely appreciated please? I have attached a PDF version of the new Walking to Health programme for November 2011 – February 2012 and it would be really great if you could add it to (or mention it on) your websites. The project’s website is www.southglos.gov.uk/walkingtohealth.

In previous years I have provided some wording to promote the scheme to residents through parish newsletters. I don’t know if and when your newsletters are next going out, but if possible I would love to include some text about the project. We rely heavily on Volunteers to deliver the project across South Glos and are currently having a real push to recruit some more.

Many thanks in advance for your assistance!
