Walking for Health
We are starting a phased restart of our walking programme with limited walks and limited numbers.
Vision RCL Walking for Health group offers free walks for adults. Meeting at various parks and open spaces across Redbridge on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Walking has many health benefits and best of all its free, all you need to do is turn up and enjoy the company.
In line with new government and ramblers association guidelines we are now able to move to groups of 30 while still adhering to the social distancing guideline. For Track & Trace procedures please book using the links below for your preferred day or park.
Please note that as government or Redbridge guidance changes, we may have to amend our walk programme. The booking system will allow us to contact you with any changes.
If you haven't booked please do not attend.
For more information please visit the Vision website.
