National Lottery funds free North Warwickshire walks led by local Mountain Leader
A new National Lottery–funded programme of free guided walks has launched in North Warwickshire, giving local people the chance to enjoy the countryside with expert support.
The programme is being delivered by Guided Outdoor Adventuring CIC in partnership with Guided Outdoor Adventures and is led locally by qualified Mountain Leader Craig Birch. It is designed to tackle what founder Julia Hartley calls the “Confidence Gap” the lack of confidence that stops many people from accessing the outdoors.
The initiative is aimed at people over 50, beginners, and those returning to activity after illness, injury or isolation.
“Many people want to walk locally but don’t feel safe or confident doing it alone,” said Hartley. “This funding allows us to provide professional guides and supportive groups so people can enjoy the outdoors with reassurance.”
The programme is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and Sport England’s Movement Fund. All walks are free to attend.
