Do you have a love for walking and a passion to get others involved? Then this could be just the thing for you!
CSSC Volunteer team have brought this training in house, to provide part 1, 2 and 3 of the training required to become a volunteer walk leader at CSSC. This course is designed to help give you the knowledge and confidence to provide great led walks for your CSSC community or workplace.
This date will cover part one of the training course, which includes everything you need to know before the walk takes place.
Part two will be organised in person with your local Volunteer Team Leader (VTL), and will include going through a recce of a walk you'd like to put on for members. Part three (for any newer volunteers) will cover how to add your event to our systems, and get the word out to members which can be done following your recce with your VTL, a local existing walk leader or virtually at a time that works for you.
The training as a whole will cover good practice guidance and ideas on:
How to choose and plan a suitable route that is interesting and attractive
How to ensure the route is safe and comfortable for your walking group
The risk assessment process
Practical tips for the walk
Things to remember after the walk
The course is free of charge, however, there are some expectation of learners:
You must agree to become a CSSC Volunteer Walk Leader
We expect that you would be willing to organise and lead at least three walks annually. These must be open to CSSC members or a specific workplace and follow CSSC event organisation policy, processes and procedures
Please note:
You are able to only book one place per CSSC member and registrations will be open until 11pm on 4th September 2026.
The training is expected to finish no later than 1pm, and we hope that people can join on their lunch break.
