Walking for Health funding changes

The Ramblers have announced changes to the way Walking for Heath is to be funded.
WfH will receive funds from the Peoples Postcode Lottery and from Sport England until September 2020.
​After that date the future is uncertain, however GGHW will continue whatever happens.

Leaders

We have have a pool of around 40 trained leaders. However not all are 'active' as some are 'indisposed' for various reasons. We are always on the lookout for more leaders, or back up leaders (who do not need formal training to make a difference). Get in touch with Bernard if you would like to find out more about being a leader. 
There is no need for regular commitment or to be a main leader, you will be just as welcome to become a back up leader.

First Steps

We offer a First Steps walk at 10:00 on Tuesdays. If required this can be an individually tailored walk. If you are interested in this walk. or know someone that might be, please Contact us and we will be happy to advise on expectations and ensure that a leader is available.

NeWS

GGHW remain an Accredited  group.
