North of England Activities and Training Committee report continued Activities Thanks to fijnding from NHS Charities Together and support from NHS Act As One Healthy Hearts Team, we have expanded our walking groups to cater for all ages and abilities. The donated Mercedes Sprinter minibus (with wheelchair lift) has been invaluable, not only taking our walking groups to appropriate locations but also supporting Hanson School (where it is stored securely), Bradford Council's Hearing Impaired Resource Base, Bradford Young Signers Group and several other voluntary gTOUPS that lack their own transport. Training The key part of our NHS Charities Together project has been to pilot the NHS Walk Leader Level 2 training programme. This builds on the Walk Leader training established in 2000 for short (up to 3 hours) walks in local areas such as parks. By 21 September 2023, 57 candidates had attended at least one of the six units (Navigation, First Aid & Emergencies, Equipment. Access & ConseNation, Group Leadership and Planning & Preparation). These have been offered with a choice of time slots (Monday evenings, Friday momings or full days on Saturdays). 28 had attended all six units. Financial Review It remains the aim of the Management Committee to build a reserve sufficient for one full yearfs running costs. As at 31 March 2023, reserves were1662.35 (down from £2680.31). We have no premises, owned or leased, and no employed staff. so annual running costs are little more than the annual insurance premium {£680.44 in the last year).
