Natural England

One of our newest walks, which is part of the Chelmsford Heart and Soul Health Walks Scheme, is with the MENCAP College in Chelmsford. It’s an integral part of their Learning for Work course which provides a work and life skills programme for adults with learning difficulties.

Natural England has trained 5 staff as Volunteer Walk Leaders who lead weekly health walks in Bell Meadows, central Chelmsford. These aim to help students build walking and physical activity into everyday life, to integrate them with the wider community and to encourage independent and healthy lifestyles by supporting them to become volunteer walk leaders themselves.
