These groups are being set up as part of a national program to get people walking to improve their health. The Heart Foundation starting running this program in Queensland 14 years ago and has found that when people walk with a group they are more motivated and develop social networks in their community.

Each session will last 1 hour. Volunteer duties Walking with a group of people. The volunteers would be asked to register new walkers and to keep an attendance list. This list would be mailed to the Heart Foundation monthly. Volunteers will receive a free tee-shirt and hat and will be covered by insurance. Training and support Training will be provided. All new walkers receive a phone call from the Heart Foundation after one month of joining to find out how they are going. They also receive an encouragement postcard after 25, 50 and 100 walks. There is also a quarterly newsletter that all walkers receive that has articles on walking groups all around Australia. A First Aid Certificate is not required. |
