Description: Are you passionate about walking and interested in inspiring others to get more active? If so, then why not attend our Walk Your Way workshop? It’s a fun, interactive forum where people come together to share creative ideas to encourage more walking and help us grow the walking movement in Greater Manchester.
In this session we’ll cover:
How we can all play a role in growing the walking movement
You and your walking
Encouraging others to walk
Getting started
Planning a route
Practical considerations
Further support and keeping in touch
Who are these workshops for?
It’s for anyone who is passionate about inspiring and empowering others to walk more. It could be your friends and family you’d like to get out walking, your work colleagues or staff, or people in your local community. The workshop is for anyone who wants to connect with others and motivate each other to get out about, but feels they’d like a bit of help and support to do so.
So far we’ve had attendees from over 50 organisations, charities and workplaces attending the workshop, so it’s a great opportunity to meet other like-minded people who’ll share your enthusiasm for walking and its ability to change lives.
As a result of the attending the workshop, people have gone on to set up their own walking initiatives and groups which have made a hugely positive difference to people in their local area. For example, feedback from a wellbeing centre in north Manchester said that the walks they’ve organised have greatly improved not only the walkers’ mood but also their confidence in interacting with others.
Please note this is not a formal Walk Leader qualification or training. If you’d like more information on that, then please see https://www.walkingforhealth.org.uk/.
