🚶Walk Leader Training Across Newry, Mourne and Down District🚶

We're delighted to see more local people stepping forward to support walking opportunities across the district through our Walk Leader Training programme as part of the Walking for All programme.

Walking for All encourages people of all ages and abilities to enjoy regular walking in a safe, social and supportive environment, helping to improve physical and mental wellbeing.

Through recent training sessions, community members have gained the skills and confidence to lead safe and inclusive walks in their local areas, helping more people get active and connected.

A huge thank you to everyone from Armagh GAA Healthy Clubs, Lislea Men's Shed and the wider Cullyhanna community who took part. Your support is helping to create more opportunities for people to enjoy the benefits of walking.

We look forward to supporting even more Walk Leader Training opportunities across the district in the coming months. 💚🚶

☀️ Inclusive Summer Scheme Success! ☀️

Nine young people with learning disabilities recently took part in our Inclusive Summer Scheme at Newry Leisure Centre, enjoying a week packed with fun activities, exercise and social opportunities.

Supported by Laura Savage (NMDDC) and Community Access Staff (SHSCT), the programme aimed to build confidence, independence and communication skills in an inclusive environment. Throughout the week, participants grew in confidence, improved their physical fitness and independently accessed gym equipment and trikes.

Most importantly, new friendships were formed, making the scheme a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

👏 Well done to all participants and staff who helped make the programme such a success!
