The Steps to Health scheme is an initiative which aims to increase the amount of physical activity that people take, and to assist with the challenge of encouraging the recommendations of 30 minutes of moderate activity per day, five times a week.

Funded and supported by Blackpool NHS Primary Care Trust, the initiative features a community wide ongoing programme of healthy walks across the Blackpool area.

Targeted at all age groups, the walks are mainly for those who lead a sedentary lifestyle. Ranging from 35 to 60 minutes they are taken by a trained leader who encourages the participants to walk at their own pace and that will benefit their health.

The guided walks take place around locations such as: Stanley Park, South Promenade, Bispham Marsh, Marton Mere, Bancroft/Watson Road Parks and Herons Reach.

The walks are available to anybody.  All you have to do is turn up and fill in a simple health questionnaire.

The walks are provided free of charge and timetables and more information are available by contacting us.
