Find out more about upcoming walking events in the borough on the walking page of erewash.gov.uk and on the Walk Erewash Facebook page.

Without volunteers the council wouldn’t be able to run its walks. Volunteering is a great way to engage with the community, helping to keep people active and healthy, whilst enjoying the outdoors.

Erewash in Bloom

Did you know that there are five Community Wellness Networks in Erewash which aim to develop community health and wellbeing?

The networks, which operate in Petersham, Kirk Hallam, Cotmanhay, Sawley and Sandiacre, deliver health and wellbeing related projects.

The community wellness networks are made up of local groups, residents and organisations who come together to support and help drive health and wellbeing outcomes in the community. Each has a dedicated Community Activator working in each area to drive the work and enable the network to grow.

Each network has an action plan with agreed priorities for its community. The networks have regular face-toface meetings and are always open to new members and receiving input from the local community.

If you are interested in being a part of a Community Wellness network please contact: becky@erewashcvs.org.uk for Sandiacre & Sawley aija.cirule@erewash.gov.uk for Kirk Hallam laura.minall@erewash.gov.uk for Petersham isabel.greed@erewash.gov.uk for Cotmanhay
