PARC Study staff organising Walk to Work Week 2010 at Queen's University


Walk to Work Week takes place from Monday 26 - Friday 30 April. As part of the week's activity, the Healthy Living Initiative and the UKCRC Centre of Excellence for Public Health (NI) would like you to join them on Wednesday 28 April at 2.00pm at the PEC for a 30 minute walk.

They are looking for Walking Champions in Schools and Directorates to encourage your departmental staff to get involved. If anyone is actively organising lunchtime walking groups or would like to, please contact Dr Robert Gamble for more information.

Want to do a bit more?
You can get a Walking Pledge card from the Physical Education Centre reception and decide how much additional walking you are going to commit to and make a note of this. Recording how you have done each day will help you keep track of your achievements. You can optionally pledge to give £1 for each day you meet your goal to the British Heart Foundation through the Just Giving site address, http://original.justgiving.com/walktowork. Finally, return your card (by post or in person) to Dr Robert Gamble, Physical Education Centre.

The initiative is supported by the Staff Healthy Living Initiative and the UKCRC Centre of Excellence for Public Health (NI), in association with Business in the Community.
