Walk Leader Volunteers

Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (Aberdeen & Grampian Services)
VO99310

Everyone has the right to live life to the full. After a diagnosis of a chest or heart condition, stroke, or Long Covid, many people experience fear and isolation, and struggle with the impact on their lives. The care and support we deliver every day ensures everyone can live the life they want to. Across Scotland, we provide vital advice, information, and support through our No Life Half Lived strategy.

The walking project at CHSS aims to increase access to walking as part of the prevention of chest, heart or stroke conditions. As a walk leader you enable walks in your community. You will lead regular group health walks in the community alongside other Walk Leader Volunteers, these accessible walks are open to the public to attend and last no more than an hour.

A fantastic opportunity to help and make a real difference for people and the community. All volunteers are greatly appreciated.
