If you are unsure about any details contact the Health Walk Coordinator on or visit for an updated table. Would you like to be a volunteer? In order to have as many Health Walks in East Kent as possible for you to join, we need friendly, reliable volunteers from the community to help lead the walks and assist our current volunteers. Full support is provided including training delivered by the scheme coordinators.
