But we try and achieve this and exclusion on any grounds isn&#8217;t an option for us. Also, lots of our members don&#8217;t walk with groups, they&#8217;re members because they support our aims. That&#8217;s great, we desperately need that sort of help, but for those who want to walk with us, read on&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re full of confidence, happy to phone people you don&#8217;t know and just turn up on a group walk, then that&#8217;s great. There are lots of walks on our walking programme, so just come along\u00a0 \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>But, for some people that might be a bit scary. Perhaps it&#8217;s a matter of confidence, perhaps it&#8217;s a matter of being concerned about being fit enough, perhaps it&#8217;s a concern about not being interesting enough. And on that latter point, we know people worry about this. Life isn&#8217;t always easy, there are a lot of people who face exclusion, isolation, a lack of confidence and a whole host of other issues. There are also other practical issues which can be faced, such as those with limited vision. But we can find solutions for all of these.<\/p>\n<p>First step, <a href=\"mailto:julian.white@aplex.co.uk\">message us<\/a> or join our area on Meetup at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meetup.com\/Norfolk-Area-Ramblers\/\">http:\/\/www.meetup.com\/Norfolk-Area-Ramblers\/<\/a>. We&#8217;ll do our very best to help find you a group that&#8217;s suitable, and do the little things we can, just as meeting you at your car if you&#8217;d like or meeting you before a social function to make breaking the ice just a little bit easier.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, so it&#8217;s easy to say that a group is welcoming, it&#8217;s different to actually be welcoming to all.
