Step Forth is our award winning volunteer led free walking programme designed to improve your physical activity levels through walking. Walks take place all around Falkirk, from Bo’ness to Denny and the Braes to Carronshore and are suitable for all ages and abilities. Step Forth started in 2003 and has expanded massively and holds hundreds of walks every year.
Step Forth has won multiple awards such as the Health Alliance Award for its Buggy Walking group and Otago programme.
Please see our classes here and you are welcome to join any walk. No booking required.
Our Walks
- Health Walks - A sociable, friendly and supportive walk. Walks last less than 1 hour and our walk leaders go at a pace which is suitable for you.
- Helix Walks - The Heart of The Helix and Helix Connect allow you to explore the beautiful parkland and paths.
- Nordic Walking - A full body exercise which is easy on the joints, using specially designed poles to strengthen and tone your whole body. Courses run twice a year at a cost of £21. For more info contact our Step Forth Coordinator.
- Buggy Walks - Our Buggy Walks bring new parents together to share their stories, experiences and concerns in a safe, friendly and welcoming environment.
Risk assessments have been updated for every Step Forth walk to ensure every walk is as safe as possible.
