Walking Group Volunteer

Location: Birchwood

Our service users love to go out walking and we'd like to set up a weekly walking group. We are looking for a volunteer to act as leader for the group and map out interesting local routes to enjoy some fresh air around the parks of Hinckley and the surrounding area. As part of your role you will plan the route of the walk, ensuring comfort breaks are included.

Make sure that the walk is accessible for all by adapting the pace when necessary so that all participants enjoy the walk and are able to join in. Include health and safety and risk assessments in your planning. You will also help to promote the walking group to service users by encouraging people to attend, and motivating people to attend.

As a volunteer with Creative Support we offer training for your role, access to a volunteer supervisor, an induction, a monthly volunteer newsletter, and an online volunteer support network group on Zoom. Preferred hours per week/time commitment:
One afternoon a week, Monday to Friday. Volunteer duties
• Planning routes for the walks
• Following health & Safety guidance
• Make sure the walk is accessible to all.
• Helping to promote the sessions to service users. Application Instructions: 'To apply download our volunteer application' Application Form 2022 - Volunteer Application Form 2022 - Volunteer
