I believe the walking group is still going strong because of the people walking in the group. They love catching up, walking a few times a week and enjoy the company. Read more

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register for a Heart Foundation walking group?
The easiest way to register for a Heart Foundation walking group is to use our Walk finder and search by town or postcode.
When you have found the walking group that suits you best, click 'Join now' and complete the registration form. If you have any questions regarding a group, you are welcome to contact the walk organiser before or after you request to join.
What should I bring to a walk?
Wear comfortable clothing and appropriate walking shoes. It's also a good idea to bring a water bottle, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) and any personal items you may need.
Can I bring my dog on a walk?
Some groups allow dogs, while others don’t. Check the group details on the website or contact the walk organiser to confirm their pet position. If dogs are welcome, they must be kept on a lead and under control at all times. You are responsible for any animal that accompanies you on your walk and you must at all times take reasonable steps to ensure the animal does not interfere with other walkers.
Assistance dogs are always welcome. If you have any questions or need support, feel free to contact the Heart Foundation Walking team or your walk organiser.
