A community walk and information day takes place on Tuesday for anyone who wants to improve their health and relieve stress.

From 11am at Shipley Library there will be information available about volunteering and training as a walk leader. The walk will set off from the library at 1pm to Denso Marsden nature reserve in Baildon where a warden will give a talk about the reserve.

The event is being organised by Bradford and Airedale Teaching Primary Care Trust's Walking for Health team. Everyone who joins in will receive a free step-o-meter.

Adults are recommended to get a minimum of 30 minutes' physical activity five times a week and brisk walking, among other exercises, can help prevent diabetes, strokes and high blood pressure, alleviate stress, reduce back pain and build confidence.

Emma Haigh, Walking for Health co-ordinator for the tPCT, said: "We want to get local people interested in walking regularly.

"The walk is a great way to show what beautiful areas there are locally."

If anyone is interested in becoming a walk leader or wants more information, call Emma on (01274) 322172.
