Spring Events - Glasgow Life Walks Programme

Looking for a simple way to boost your health and wellbeing? Take a step in the right direction with a walking activity!

Walking is one of the easiest ways to feel better, it can lift your mood, reduce anxiety, and support long term brain health. Just 20 minutes a day can make a real difference, with research showing it may even help lower the risk of Alzheimer’s.

At Glasgow Life, there are loads of ways to help you get moving:

👟 Walking Football

🏐 Walking Netball

🌳 Friendly, community led Health Walks

No matter your age or fitness level, there’s something for everyone. Find out more at Glasgow Life Walks.
