Supporters

Heart Foundation Walking thanks our supporters for their contributions to our walking network.

Stockland is one of the largest diversified real estate groups in Australia owning, managing and developing retail town centres, workplace and logistics assets, residential and retirement living communities. Their focus on sustainability has led to global recognition of their leadership on issues such as climate change adaptation, community wellbeing, and operational efficiency. Heart Foundation Walking works with Stockland to promote the benefits of physical activity and provide walking opportunities to retail customers, residential and retirement living residents.

10,000 Steps is a free health promotion program that aims to increase the day to day activity of Australians by encouraging them to use a step-counting pedometer to accumulate ‘incidental’ physical activity throughout the day. The interactive 10,000 Steps website allows you to track your steps and participate in challenges, either individually or as a team with friends, work mates and/or group members, to help you reach your step goals.

Put on a pedometer and see how many steps you do! Increase your steps by parking further away from your destination, taking the stairs instead of the lift or joining a Heart Foundation Walking group.

The National Heart Foundation of Australia and parkrun Australia have partnered to launch an exciting new spin on the Park Walks program and aim to get more Heart Foundation Walking participants enjoying their local parks. parkrun Australia organise free, weekly, 5km timed walks and runs around the country in pleasant parkland settings and other open spaces. They are volunteer led, open to everyone, free, and are safe and easy to take part in.

Heart Foundation Walking members who list “Heart Foundation Walking” as their club when registering with parkrun automatically have their walks included as part of the Walker Recognition Scheme – another great reason to walk!

 

Volunteers

Our Heart Foundation Walking Volunteers are a vital part of our program and we wouldn't have such an outstanding program without them. We express our deepest gratitude for their contributions and willingness to get involved.

Host Organisations

Heart Foundation Walking partners with organisations across the country – councils, GPs, chemists, shopping centres, aged care facilities and more – to set up and maintain walking groups in local communities. Without the continued support of these organisations we wouldn't be able to run the program we do, and are very grateful for their commitment to bettering their communities wellbeing.
