Volunteer Ponder Wander Leader

CHANGES Community Health Project
VO100722

Are you familiar with local green spaces across East Lothian? Would you like to lead small groups of people on gentle walks or 'ponder wanders' in the local area, encouraging them to take in their surroundings with more awareness? These walks are held weekly on a Tuesday afternoon for around an hour in local parks and open spaces across East Lothian. Leading these groups you will be helping people improve their mental health by connecting to each other and the environment. The commitment can be flexible (no need to lead a walk every week) and training will be provided.
