Nationally accredited by Ramblers Walking for Health Walks for April & May 2021 As you will see from the enclosed program we have opened up a few walks. Each walk has been Covid Risk assessed, and the number of walkers will be limited. Only Walking for Health registered walkers who have booked to join a walk will be allowed on the walk. Please do not turn up without having booked. Please email w4h@cfirst.org.uk to request the link to the booking form. You will be notified before the walk if your booking has been accepted or rejected depending on numbers. It is important that we can contact you quickly as walks may be cancelled at short notice. By giving your telephone number and email address Community First will assume that you are happy to be contacted by either means. After the walk your details will be kept for 21 days for the purposes of contact tracing.
