Do you love walking and socialising? Then this opportunity could be just the thing for you!

Our health walks are one of our most successful activities and are proven to improve mental and physical health. We would love to add to our existing team of short walk leaders and back markers. The short walk takes place weekly for an hour around Wincanton, usually on tracks and pavements rather than off-road. This role would suit someone who enjoys walking and feels comfortable socialising with new people. The group set off from the Balsam Centre at 10am, then reconvene at 11am for a hot drink and a sit down in the cafe here. It is necessary to sign up as a volunteer and there is a short training session to complete prior to becoming a walk leader or back marker. It's a great opportunity for building fitness and making social connections at the same time.
