North Swindon MP, Justin Tomlinson opened the doors of his community office to Walking for Health, as it held training for its volunteers.
Walking for Health aims to help people live a more active lifestyle through a network of health walk schemes. Bringing people together to enjoy exploring the beautiful countryside surrounding Swindon.
Walking is believed to have many health benefits, such as reducing the risk of illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and some types of cancer.
The group of volunteers were learning how to use Walk for Health’s online database to manage and organise walks.
Justin Tomlinson MP said: “An initiative like this is really important. Walking is such an easy way to stay fit and active, which goes on to have a huge positive impact on your health. It is also a useful way to be sociable, all while taking in some spectacular scenery.”
