Walk Leader training

Community walks are reliant on residents volunteering to lead walks and Get Doncaster Moving are here to help residents to either set up or join existing walks as a leader. Being a Walk Leader can be rewarding, fun, and a great opportunity to meet people and socialise!

If you are interested in becoming a Walk Leader, there is plenty of support available. There's two types of training available, Ramblers Wellbeing Walks Walk Leader Training (training to become able to lead Ramblers Wellbeing Walks) and Community Walk Leader Training (training to become able to lead walks for community organisations). There is also a fantastic network of Walk Leaders keen to welcome, help and support new Leaders.
