Resources
We offer a range of promotional material to our accredited members and provisional members. Please note that all material is copyrighted to Walkers are Welcome and written permission is required to reproduce material by third parties.
Members’ Handbook
The Members’ digital Handbook is available to download by clicking here.
The handbook is full of useful information and ideas about how your town can continue promoting the area as a Walkers are Welcome town or village. There is information on marketing, walking festivals, leaflets to mentoring, the annual Get -Together and the work of the volunteers on the National Executive.
The National Committee welcome comments on the contents and future inclusions.
Insurance
Many of our members have been happily purchasing Zurich Insurance to cover their organisation’s needs for a number of years.
Recent changes in Zurich’s Charity & not-for-profit organisations policies mean that you now need to apply online building the cover you require, for example: as a Community Action Group (Ramblers and walking groups only are not covered).
Policies start at £56 (November 2024) plus choose your Public Liability figure of £2 million or £5 million and additional extras e.g. trustees liability etc. as you require.
See https://www.zurich.co.uk/charity-insurance. Login and ask for a quote.
We recommend discussing the cover offered by Zurich particularly if you have additional activities that may be of higher risk like footpath maintenance or walking festivals.
If you’d like to speak to one of their team about a tailored quote for your organisation:
Call 0800 917 9420
