British Nordic Walking forms walking groups in local communities in the United Kingdom to improve health and wellbeing and facilitate social interaction. Their certified instructors teach the International Nordic Walking Federation (INWA) 10-Step Method, which uses specially designed poles to combine walking with core and upper body conditioning and help members manage their health, address mental distress, and reduce isolation by forming new friendships. They also offer training courses and manuals for individuals interested in pursuing careers as instructors and walk leaders. British Nordic Walking has adapted training methods for amputees and people with sight disabilities or long-term health conditions. Some walking groups are free or accessible through social prescribing. British Nordic Walking is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) and a member of Social Enterprise UK and Sport England.
