National Walking Month – 1st-31st May

To celebrate National Walking Month this May, we have pulled together a resource containing local information and support to get people out walking and enjoy the benefits of getting active around our isles.

The resource contains information around local walking groups on offer, inspiration on walking routes around Shetland, and local support that’s available in the community to encourage folk to walk more often.

The resource was developed through a working group within the Active Shetland Strategic Group, who focuses on supporting the inactive to become more active. The group includes members from NHS Shetland, Shetland Recreational Trust, Shetland Islands Council Sport & Leisure Team, Ability Shetland and ZetTrans. You can find out more about the Active Shetland Strategy and the work we do here.
