What is the Walk & Talk Challenge?
The Walk & Talk Challenge is a workplace health promotion initiative being rolled out by Donegal County Council through the Staff Health and Wellbeing Office in conjunction with Healthy Donegal. It kicks off on National Workplace Wellbeing Day, Friday 28th April 2023 and will run over a four-week period until 26th May 2023. The challenge is open to all Donegal County Council staff and builds upon HSE guidelines which recommend “at least 30 minutes a day of moderate activity 5 days a week” for adults aged 18-64 years old.
