PATHS FOR ALL SUPPORT FOR WORKPLACES

Paths for All offer a variety of support, advice and resources to workplaces interested in encouraging staff to be more active in and around the working day.

The Walk at Work Award

The Walk at Work Award is Paths for All’s accreditation scheme which recognises and celebrates employers who are supporting staff to move more during the working day. Over forty organisations have achieved the award, by carrying out actions such as organising lunchtime walks, providing changing and drying facilities for staff to raising awareness of walking, wheeling and cycling routes around their workplace.

Workplace walking online training course

Our online workplace walking training course equips learners with the knowledge, skills and ideas to encourage their colleagues to move more. Free to take part in, the course is packed with helpful advice, hints and tips to help learners set up a walking project within their workplace.
