The Stepping Out Project is Hyndburn's Walking for Health project. Our aim is to encourage more people to take up walking as a form of physical activity. We have nine led walks a week in Hyndburn. These range from 30 minutes to 2 hour walks.

All our walks are led by trained Volunteer Walk Leaders. Leaders are involved with the planning and risk assessing of our walks. It's a great way to stay fit and healthy and also make new friends. We are always looking for new volunteers, so if you are interested please contact us.

All our walks are free, and are open to all ages and abilities. However we would ask all new walkers to start by walking with us on our shorter, slower paced walks unless they are extremely confident in their own fitness levels. For advice or more information on this please contact us on 01254 358 046.

Whilst Walk Leaders take every care, your comfort and safety are your own responsibility on the walk.

If you have medication you may need please bring it with you.

If you are diabetic bring a sugary drink.

Dogs are welcome if they are kept on a short lead and you clean up after them.
