Organisation Description 
The National Heart Foundation of Australia is a charity whose mission is to reduce suffering and death from heart, stroke and blood vessel disease in Australia.
Service Description 

Heart Foundation Walking is Australia’s largest free walking network and offers Australians multiple ways to walk, both as individuals and in groups, along with a virtual community of walkers who track their activity online.

Walking groups can be any size and groups walk at various times, days, distances and levels of difficulty with all participants encouraged to walk at their own pace. Volunteer Walk Organisers decide the route, times and days for the walks, act as the main point of contact for group members and help the Heart Foundation stay in touch with walkers.

Heart Foundation Walking is designed to help people enjoy regular physical activity. The program provides:

  • An easy, accessible way to stay physically active
  • Social contact and community spirit
  • A safe way to be healthy
  • Regular newsletters and health information
  • Encouragement and incentives to stay motivated
  • Invitations to special walk events

Please visit the website or contact Heart Foundation Walking on 13 11 12 and walking [at] heartfoundation.org.au for more information.
