Winchester Healthy Walks
Walking is a great way to lead an active, healthy lifestyle in a fun, friendly and relaxed environment. Working closely with Community First, we are creating further opportunities to make a difference to the health and wellbeing of our local communities. Through the delivery of local short group walks, this will help address issues of loneliness, isolation, and mental health and physical health.

Become a Walk Leader
Our walks heavily rely on the fantastic support from our volunteer walk leaders, and we are always in search for more people to join the team. Walk leaders are required to attend a free, virtual half-day course in order to be qualified. Once completed, you will be responsible for a group walk on a regular basis. If you would like more information please contact Calum Drummond our Health Improvement Manager on cdrummond@winchester.gov.uk
