(Re)discover the magic of walking this May

National walking month is campaign that takes place every May, celebrating the many benefits of walking and wheeling. As we move into May, we welcome lighter evenings and hopefully some spring sunshine, making it the perfect time to get walking! Walking is a great way to help us feel energised, connect with our community, and get a free workout. 

If you are in need of a nudge and want to find a quick, easy way to boost your wellbeing Living Streets have put together 20 tips to help you fit 20 minutes of walking into your day.

If you’re looking to connect with others in your community or could do with a regular event to keep you motivated, then keep your eyes peeled on some of the walking groups and events listed on the Talk Community Directory. With plenty of options across the county, the Ramblers Weekly Wellbeing Walks are a great pick for those seeking a gentle and sociable walking experience.

For those interested in leading a short, accessible walk in their local community, the Healthy Lifestyle Service within Talk Community are able to provide free Walk Leader training, under the Ramblers framework.
