Tavistock Wellbeing Walks are in need of more volunteer walk leaders!
The current walk takes place every Tuesday Morning, starting at The Wharf in Tavistock at 10.30am.The routes vary week to week but are always a maximum of about 1.5 miles on fairly flat easy terrain and at an easy pace. All are welcome for coffee and cake at the Wharf afterwards!
The group are in need of more walk leaders to keep running this important provision for the community. If you’re keen to walk more and would enjoy helping others, spending more time outdoors and meeting new people, then becoming a leader could be for you!
What Does the Walk Leader Training Entail?
The training is straightforward, informal and takes less than a day. We also continue to support volunteers once they are qualified, with access to guidance and resources afterwards. Plus, qualified walk leaders are insured to lead Ramblers Wellbeing Walks with public liability and personal injury insurance provided by the Ramblers.
The training includes:
- Completing some simple online eLearning.
- Shadowing a local wellbeing walk.
- Attending a walk leadership workshop of approximately three hours (online or face to face).
