    -How the Walks Programme and your organisation can work together to create the support you need
    -Free training opportunities and benefits for your staff
    -Next steps

    There will be presentations by the Reading Walks Programme Coordinator, as well as walk leaders from some of the current walking groups about the volunteer role, how they work with Reading Borough Council and recent success stories to will give examples about the benefits they see on a regular basis for their walkers from many different backgrounds.

    There will also be free refreshments available and a chance to meet and discuss ideas with other organisations in the community.
