Harrow Health Walks Volunteer Walk Leader or Assistant

Harrow Health Walks is a free, inclusive volunteering opportunity with Voluntary Action Harrow. Volunteers help people improve their health and wellbeing, meet new people, and enjoy walks around the local area as part of the Ramblers Wellbeing Walks network.

The role is designed to support a friendly, welcoming environment where participants feel included, comfortable and encouraged to become more active.

Two volunteer roles are available: Walk Leader and Walk Assistant. Walk Leaders help plan and risk-assess routes, guide walkers and support the overall walk experience, while Walk Assistants welcome participants, help with simple admin and support the leader during the walk.

Volunteers receive full training, including two short e-learning modules, shadowing an experienced walk, and a three-hour training session that can be completed online or in person.

The opportunity is flexible and suitable for people who can volunteer at a time that works for the walk schedule. It is ideal for people who enjoy local events, supporting others and befriending, and it offers a chance to stay active, build confidence, meet new people and develop leadership skills.
