Additional Information: If you have some difficulty with walking, need support with your mobility aid, or feel unsafe walking you may like a companion to walk with you.

Having a trained volunteer Companion Walker can support you in feeling safe while you walk at your own pace in your local community. You get to enjoy a walk with good company, at a time, day, and place that suits you.

Walking is an enjoyable and safe exercise option for people of all ages and abilities. Walking can:

-- improve your fitness level, heart health, diabetes management, etc

-- improve muscle strength, joint function, balance & bone density and thus reduce risk of falls

-- improve your mood, sleep, energy levels, and sense of wellbeing.


HOW TO BEGIN ……
Before you can begin the program your mobility needs are assessed by an Allied Health therapist e.g. Physiotherapist, and /or Occupational Therapist:

-- The therapist will develop mobility solutions with you, including a walking plan that suits you.

-- The therapist will refer you to or back to the Companion Walking program.
