Lead a community walking group from the Clarence Park Community Centre
Heart Foundation Walking and Clarence Park Community Centre are seeking volunteers to start and lead walking groups from the centre.
Heart Foundation Walking is Australias largest FREE walking network.
It is a social, fun and easy way for people to walk and be active.
With more than one in four Australian adults doing very little or no exercise at all, Heart Foundation Walking is a great way to help people increase their physical activity.
Heart Foundation Walking is designed to help people enjoy regular physical activity.
As well as the physical benefits, walking as part of a group can benefit your mental health too
Over the past 30 years more than 400,000 Australians have participated in a Heart Foundation Walking group, with over 90% of participants staying active after six months of joining.
Walk Organisers come from all walks of life (no pun intended) and all regions across Australia.
Walk Organisers enjoy the flexibility of deciding when/where and how often they want to walk and reap the benefits of a healthier mind and body.
You are also providing an invaluable opportunity for your community to join in a free, social and fun way to get healthy
