Sue Daintith, 68, and Caroline Jenkins, 70, both from Pontypool, are the latest walk leaders to join Torfaen’s Take a Stroll scheme. The scheme is led by Torfaen Council’s health, sport and fitness team and provides walks in Blaenavon, Pontypool and Cwmbran to support physical activity and social connection. "There are always plenty of people keen to walk, but not always someone willing to lead.”Walk leaders volunteer their time to guide weekly walks, and there is currently a team of 15 supporting the scheme. Lynne Mattravers, health improvement officer at Torfaen Council, said: “Before the pandemic we had around 30 walk leaders, so seeing both new and long‑standing members step forward is fantastic. Anyone interested in joining a walk or becoming a volunteer leader can contact the health, sport and fitness team on 01633 628936.
