A WALKING group in Hyndburn led by volunteers is thanking those that take part.

Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust’s ‘Stepping Out’ provides a series of walks of varying lengths and fitness levels.

Jean Crook has been a volunteer within the project for around 10 years.

She said: “I had not long retired and was looking for something to do. Now I am a group leader.”

Fran Riley, health improvement practitioner said: “We are so thankful to everyone who donates their time to help as without them I have no doubt it wouldn’t have been as successful as it has been.
