Walk on Hebrides was established in 2006 and since then our weekly lunchtime walks in Stornoway have become a regular social event with a number of walkers recently receiving certificates for having participated in over 30 of the walks. The participants come from a variety of social and health backgrounds, with some having learning or mental health issues while others have been referred due to physical health issues.

The transported walks programme which we began in 2007 continues to provide opportunities for small groups from rural areas of Lewis and Harris to meet for a short walk in a different location from their home district.

In recent months our scheme has recruited several new volunteer walk leaders who are enthusiastically giving of their time to lead walks on the islands.
