Are your boots made for walking?

The First Steps group take a short weekly walk around the park, led by a walk leader and volunteer.

The 20-30 minute walks are suitable for beginners taking their first steps into the hobby, and provide fresh air, exercise and the chance to meet new people.

Sandra Middleton recently joined after retiring — she assured newcomers: “I felt very welcomed into the group and it’s a good entry level back into walking.”

The First Steps group — supported by East Renfrewshire CHCP — meets outside Eastwood Park Theatre every Tuesday, at 9.30am, and all are welcome along.

Anyone interested can turn up on the day, or contact Sine Delahunt — on 577 8361 or [email protected] — for more information.
