This project is building on the existing Heart Foundation Walking Groups program (1,200 volunteer led walking groups across Australia) by integrating a dementia training and promotion element that will help people with dementia to get involved in active, social walking exercise.

The project will train Heart Foundation Walking program area co-ordinators and volunteer leaders how to be inclusive of people with dementia, and has begun establishing 30-40 general and dementia-specific demonstration groups around Australia.
