Lead your local Baby Walk

Baby Walk is run by everyday mums like you who volunteer to start local pram walking groups in their area. It’s an easy and fun way to make mum friends in your area and make those early months with your new bub even more memorable. Our team will support you every step of the way to build your Baby Walk community and make it as light-lift as possible for you. Make a tired mum smile today and start your local Baby Walk.

Why be a Baby Walk leader?

Here’s just a few reasons you should start a Baby Walk today;

  • Connect with local mums: Foster real, in-person connections in your area. With fresh air and adult-conversation guaranteed.

  • Gentle fitness and fun: Combine light physical activity with genuine moments of joy and laughter (and lots of baby poo of course!)

  • Empower other mums: You’ll be surprised how many other mums in your area are craving the same thing! It just takes someone making the first step to get it started, that’s why they need someone like you!

  • Yes they can! And they do. We welcome dads or any caregivers to Baby Walk.

    While we are a mum-led and mum focussed group - we create space that welcome the shift from mothers being the primary carers of babies and know dads who have taken parental leave want people to talk to too!
