Walk Leader Training

Tow dates for Walk Leader Training run by ‘Lets walk Cymru’ in Powys coming up. They are hoping to pilot some buggy walks for parents, grandparents and expectant mothers in Powys in 2016 as part of Powys Healthy Weights Action Plan. The walks are a chance to make friends and enjoy the fresh air while getting fitter or staying fit. They will be all short, accessible walks, usually between 1 and 3 miles aimed at people who are relatively new to walking or want to improve their health.

The training is for those interested in being involved in setting up a group in their working community or becoming walk leaders. Included in the training is insurance guidance and good practice when it comes to leading walks including soft leadership skills and what to do in an emergency.

The dates for the courses are:  Tuesday 16th February at Newtown Foot ball Club 10am-4pm
