Support to Set Up Walking and Wheeling Groups
Are you a constituted group or organisation that provides activities and support for;
- Disabled people
- People from minoritised ethnic communities
If so, Glasgow Sport would love to work with you to set up, or grow, Health Walks in your community.
Walking and wheeling is a fun, flexible, easy and free activity that can really boost everyone’s health and wellbeing.
We define ‘wheeling’ as the action of moving as a pedestrian supported by any wheeled mobility aid including wheelchairs, mobility scooters, walking frames and rollators.
We can provide a package of support for up to 10 organisations which can include;
- Free Taster Health Walks
- Free Tailored Walk Leader Training to suit your group’s learning needs
- Free ongoing support and advice
- Small grants to help get your walks started
