Strolls with Poles Community Interest Company (CIC) was registered at the end of June 2023 as a way of providing Nordic Walking to groups at a fully funded or reduced rate.
We are aware that there are groups of people who would really benefit from Nordic Walking as a means of keeping active, walk with others with the same diagnoses but are not able to join Strolls with Poles’ regular walks.
The groups we have initially identified (not an exhaustive list) are:
- People living with Parkinson’s
- People with Arthritis
- People with a neurodivergent diagnosis (ie Autism, Aspergers etc)
- Unpaid carers
- Veterans
We are currently applying for funding from many areas and we have received £250 from the Barbour Foundation which is allowing us to offer two taster (trial) sessions to two groups living with Parkinson’s.
We will keep everyone updated as our CIC grows.
If you are aware of any groups who you think may find Nordic Walking beneficial, please get in touch with Julie by either telephone 07443495622 or email strollswithpoles@gmail.com
