What we do

The aim of the Blaenavon Health Walk is to improve the health and wellbeing (mental and physical) of people within Torfaen who would benefit from an increase in physical activity by introducing and sustaining regular walking within local communities.

The group is also supporting our local economy by meeting for the walks in small businesses throughout the borough and returning for beverages afterwards.

Who do we support

Our referrals come via GP's, other health professionals, National Exercise on Referral, Pontypool/Cwmbran cardiac groups, Torfaen mental health teams and word of mouth.

Walking is an ideal form of exercise, particularly for those that may feel excluded and disadvantaged. It’s free and requires no special equipment for you to take part, it’s accessible to all, easy to start doing, has all the benefits of activity with the added bonus of social contact and support. Contact us to join a group today or volunteer to lead one of your own!
