women aware of it.” ■ Now Ceri is hoping to

AN award-winning walking scheme that helps people takegreatstridesforhealth and fitness has launched its 2015 programme.


Stepping Out was set up in 2004 by Ribble Valley Coun­ cil to promote walking as an effective and low-risk form of physical activity for those who are inactive. Started with a handful


of volunteers and two treks a week, it now offers a pro­ gramme of free weekly walks of varying lengths and dif­ ficulty led by a team of 30 trained volunteers. It attracts about 130 walkers a week. Stepping Out coordinator


Barrie Williams said: “Evi- denceis increasingly showing walking’s many benefits. You don’t have to be fit to walk and the elderly, as well as those re­ covering from illness, can en­


joy it-and it’s free. “Stepping Out encour­


ages people who might not otherwise be active to enjoy the benefits of walking in a friendly, welcoming and non­ competitive environment. “It is now one of Lanca­


shire’s most successful health programmes and we are de­ lighted that it is going from strength to strength. I’d like to thank our team of dedicat­ ed and hard-working volun­ teers for helping to make the scheme such a success." Stepping Out includes


evening and weekend walks, as well as short, gentle treks for residents with restricted mobility, all taking in some of Ribble Valley’s most scenic spots. There are also Nordic walking sessions on Tuesday mornings at Longridge Com­ munity Gym and “prambles” for people with prams and pushchairs,alsoonTuesdays. Further information and


a Stepping Out programme- are available from Barrie Wil­ liams on 01200 414484.
