Building a better Walking website experience for you

MAY 2025

A new Heart Foundation Walking website is here – and you helped shape it

We’ve got big news to share – and if you’re a walker, we think you’re going to love it.

The very first phase of our brand-new Heart Foundation Walking website is now live!

This project has been a true team effort, with input from across the Heart Foundation, as well as feedback from our walking community.

So what’s new, and what’s next? Let’s take a look.

Phase 1: Personal Walking Plans

This first release focuses on Personal Walking Plans – giving you more ways to stay on track, get inspired, and see your progress.

New Personal Walking Plan dashboard and features include:

• Goal Setting, Progress Bars and Badges to keep you motivated.
• Device integration so you can sync your wearable and see your walking activity in real-time.
• A resource library packed with warm-up and cool-down videos, balance and mobility guides, and indoor walking options.
• An easy ‘Invite-a-Friend’ tool to help spread the walking love with a single click.

What’s coming next?

Phase 2: Walking groups

We’re upgrading the group walker and volunteer walk organiser experience, improving the way groups are found, joined and managed.

As a group walker, you’ll also be able to:

• Track your progress with your group walking log and see how close you are to your next milestone.
• Access our resource library, featuring videos to complement your walking journey including warm-up and cool-down routines, indoor walking options and seated mobility exercises.
• Sign up for a Personal Walking Plan to compliment your walking goals and preferences.
• Search for additional walking groups using enhanced information and details that help you find the right group for you.

And that’s not all – we’ll keep building in new features to support healthy habits and make it even easier for you to keep walking.

Thanks again for being part of the journey. We can’t wait to keep moving forward with you!
