WHAT IS A HART HEALTH WALK?   

Health walks are aimed at people who would like to walk at a gentle pace in a safe and social setting.  We encourage people who may be rehabilitating after an illness, who would like to begin to take gentle exercise or who feel they would like to meet people.

We provide short walks for those who are less able and everyone can walk at their own pace.  We are currently averaging 120 walkers a week come rain or shine!

The walks are approximately 50 minutes long, are led by trained Volunteer Walk Leaders, and require no specialist walking clothes. At the end of the walk there are refreshments and a chance for a chat. 

 With sponsorship from Sports Relief, The Hart Neighbourhood Centre currently runs four free Health Walks a week across Hart. All abilities welcome, great social and fitness opportunity come and join us!

 Hart Neighbourhood Centre in Hook runs an accredited Healthy Walks Scheme which is part of the ‘Walking the way to Health Initiative’. This is a joint venture between Natural England and the British Heart Foundation.

If you wish to come along to the Hart Health Walks please just turn up at whichever walk you wish. We ask that you arrive 15minutes early on your first walk with us to allow time to complete a simple regisitration form. Once that is completed you are able to turn up at any of our walks whenever you wish with out having to let us know in advance.

So please just come along and introduce yourself to a walk leader!

Do you have some spare time?   Would you like to volunteer?

We are always looking for volunteers to help us with Hart Health Walks.

It’s not just about walking, we require volunteers to help in the following areas:

• To be walk leaders (free training given)
• People with local knowledge of the areas
• Could help us identify walk routes
• Have knowledge of venues, help with tea and coffee’s
• Help with the basic admin involved in the setting up and weekly running of the walks.

Our walk leaders work on a rota basis so we only ask you to commit to a minimum of one walk a month.
