Our workshops and programmes are superb 'motivational inputs' for walking clubs, Active Retirement Associations, Arthritis Walking Groups, workplace health-promotion initiatives, etc. They are educational, practical, and sociable where participants;
​
- develop an understanding of fitness and the key components
​
- learn practical ways to improve their fitness through walking;
- get information to enable them maintain good levels of fitness afterwards.
- meet, mingle, and make new friends!

The workshops and programmes are often 'hosted and sponsored' by Local Sports Partnerships in their role to increase participation across their counties.
