GM Walking Festival logoAs part of the GM Walking Festival 2023, Salford Community Leisure are offering a series of free one-off wellbeing walks throughout the month of May.

Our walks provide a relaxed, sociable and fun environment. The walks range from 30 minutes to an hour long, and the 30 minute walks provide a slower, steadier, accessible pace.

The Wellbeing Walks are co-ordinated by Salford Community Leisure and are led by trained volunteers.
