Ramblers Wellbeing Walking Training

Community walks are reliant on residents volunteering to lead walks and Doncaster Council are here to help residents to either set up or join existing walks as a leader. Being a Walk Leader can be rewarding, fun, and a great opportunity to meet people and socialise. The main role of a walk leader is to lead safe, enjoyable and welcoming walks.

Doncaster Council are pleased to offer two types of Walk Leader training, if you would like to talk through the options or have any questions about becoming a Walk Leader, please contact [email protected]

Option 1: Full Walk Leader training to become able to lead Ramblers Wellbeing Walks (new name for Walking for Health Health Walks). This training consists of:

• Wellbeing Walks Induction (document to read at your own convenience)
• Walk Leader Handbook (document to read at your own convenience)
• Walk Leadership Foundations (90 min online course at your own convenience)
• Preventing and Managing Incidents (60 min online course at your own convenience)
