Walk with us! Would you like to start walking more, whether for pleasure or exercise? Would you like to discover walks in your local area or have some company? Come along to one of our local walking club organised walks and feel the benefit! Bums off Seats is managed by Fife Council. It organises programmes of short weekly volunteer led walks across Fife. The aim of the led walk programme is to encourage people to start walking regularly in their local area especially the less active members of Fife s population. A more active lifestyle can improve physical health and promote good mental health and well being. Please arrive 10 minutes before your first walk in order to complete a Health Walk Questionnaire www.fifedirect.org.uk/bumsoffseats
