North Downs Way National Trail Training Ambassador Scheme

The North Downs Way Ambassador Scheme developed a training module for people to deliver activities (walks/ talks/ themed events) on and around the North Downs Way National Trail.
Twenty-two Ambassadors were initially trained learning about the North Downs Way, landscape heritage, biodiversity, how to lead a walk, health and safety and visitor welcome. Training materials and a resource pack were produced and available on a dedicated web portal which Ambassadors can access when required to deliver their events.
Importantly, all trained ambassadors become automatic members of the well-established Surrey Hills Society to provide insurance cover for their Ambassador Activity. This important to ensure confidence that they can deliver a public event with the correct insurance in place. It also gives a promotional and support network for all Ambassadors to create and deliver a wide range of rural and cultural events connected to the North Downs Way National trail.
The Ambassador Toolkit provides details on how to lead a good walk on the North Downs Way National trail and the resources can be accessed here
