Walking Group Volunteer
We are looking for a volunteer to run our weekly walking group which is hosted at Heaton Park every Tuesday 2 – 4pm
At the beginning of the first
lockdown in March 2020 the majority of our clients were isolated with very
little or no support available, so we decided to facilitate a weekly walking
group which has become a popular event for our clients.
The aim of the walking group is
to support disabled people within the Greater Manchester area to be active
and participate in their local communities whilst meeting other clients of
Breakthrough UK.
As the Walking Group leader, you will be
expected to complete a Travel Training session before the group begins (if
required) followed by a light walk with clients around the grounds of the park.
The purpose of this project is to keep
clients active.
For the majority of our
clients the weekly walking group is a detrimental part of their social
calendars.
This ever-growing popular
group demonstrates just how important it is it to continue on a weekly basis.
If you are interested in
becoming a volunteer, please complete the following form and we will be in
