Walking for Health  Walking project aimed at the isolated and those that need gentle exercise for both mental and physical wellbeing  Advertised in doctor’s surgeries and through MacMillan cancer trust  Walking for health is a nationwide charity in association with the Ramblers and Macmillan  Walks are a gentle pace, over short distances and are focused on social interaction rather than working up a sweat. A short 45min walk has to be included in the plan and routes should have good access to transport  Each walk requires a trained walk leader  London Volunteer Towpath Rangers will be trained by walking for health as walk leaders  One walk per month planned for the next 4 months as a trial. The hope is to expand this number to include more areas of London  Potential to target a variety of groups for the walks, many conditions can benefit from gentle exercise  Insurance is provided by Walking for Health
