Braveheart Walks back at the Centre!

Braveheart Walks are back at the Centre over the coming months. There will be walks around the local area in February, March and April with the possibility of more later in the year.

In addtion to these walks, Braveheart Walks take place across Forth Valley on a weekly and Monthly basis.

Upcoming Walks from the Centre are:

February- Friday 23rd
March- Friday 23rd
April- Friday 27th

All have a 1.30pm start from Forth Valley Sensory Centre. Please arrive between 1pm and 1:15pm to be ready for the off at 1:30pm. Why not come in a bit earlier and enjoy a spot of lunch in our social enterprise Cafe?

Each of the Braveheart Walks lasts around 45 minutes and the routes are all checked out by the Braveheart team and properly risk assessed. Paths followed are generally tarmac or in good condition and fairly level. Alternatives are often in place for steps but please feel free to contact walk organiser Eva below if you have any questions. Sighted guides are available, contact Brenda at the Centre if you would like to arrange one, or you can get help if needed from the Braveheart volunteers.

There is usually time for tea and chat afterwards and these walks are very much a social occasion. Forth Valley Sensory Centre is hoping to train more Braveheart Walk volunteers in sighted guiding in the near future too so there will be even more opportunities to join in and stay active.

Braveheart is supporting individuals of all ages to become active within the Forth Valley area, meet new people and encourage disabled and non-disabled individuals to be active together. No experience or fitness required!
