Walk 4 Health
in Bedfordshire
Programme of Walks
BRCC co-ordinates a range of W4H walk programmes throughout Central Bedfordshire. These individual programmes are in turn led by trained volunteer Health Walk Leaders.
Health walks are regular walks which are free and open to all – though aimed particularly at people who are presently doing little or no exercise – and usually last for about an hour.
People are encouraged to walk at their own pace, safe in the knowledge that they are walking with trained leaders, one of whom will remain at the back of the group, with the slowest walkers.
At the end of the walk we encourage walkers to socialise - therefore many of our walks end where people can have a drink and a chat.
