Health Challenge Wales in Ghana

HEALTH CHALLENGE WALES IN GHANA

In August 2011 Angela Davies, Bridgend Borough Council Children and Young Peoples Partnership Manager, and her daughter Kathryn visited Ghana as volunteers. They spent their time teaching children in a summer school where the children made good use of some Health Challenge Wales promotional materials. Angela & Kathryn were able to promote health and wellbeing through physical activities that were both fun and educational.

Angela says ‘It was such a rewarding and humbling experience I would recommend it!!’

Love2walk Returns

Love2Walk festival back in Bridgend

The Love2Walk festival will return to Bridgend County Borough this October to celebrate the joy of walking – why not come along and experience the outstanding views, flora and fauna and landmarks that the county has to offer?

The festival, which is developed by a partnership of community organisations, private businesses and Bridgend County Borough Council, is set to be the biggest yet.

Walkers will have the opportunity to take part in over 40 walks to explore all areas of Bridgend County Borough from the 1 – 9 October 2011. Each walk will offer a different experience so there will be something available for all ages, abilities and interests.

New walks have been introduced on to the 2011 programme which includes zorbing on water, astronomy, archaeology and a dairy farm walk.

The programme also features the most popular walks from the last two years – ‘Ghostly Encounters’, ‘Wild Food Foraging’ and ‘Go Batty at Bryngarw’ plus a range of other favourites such as Nordic waking, and scenic and industrial heritage walks.

Love2Walk is also offering an opportunity to win a break in a Romany Caravan by entering a competition on Facebook. All you have to do is upload a photograph or video of your favourite walks in Wales and explain what makes them great.

Most walks will be free of charge and led by expert local guides. For further information contact love2walk@bridgend.gov.uk or visit www.love2walk.co.uk

This project has been funded by Reach Rural Development Programme, Bridgend County Borough Council and Capital Region Tourism.
