A WALKING charity needs new recruits in Inverclyde.

Volunteer walk leaders are being sought locally by Paths for All to take charge of treks in the district.

Since the end of the pandemic, the charity has had a decline in numbers and it is now launching a recruitment campaign.

Kevin Lafferty, chief executive of Paths for All, said: “Walk leaders are the most integral part of a health walk and the time and care they give to the local communities they serve is extremely valuable.

"Our volunteers help to support the health and wellbeing of local people by providing a safe, fun and friendly space for people to be active, socialise and enjoy the outdoors.

"But volunteers experience many benefits too - exercise, getting outside and a having a good blether, all while helping others. “

Training will be provided for newcomers
