In cooperation with Eshel, and the Sport Department and Section for Aging Populations of the Hod Hasharon Municipality, Click has started weekly walking group for seniors.  The group is accompanied by counselors who during the walk provide explanations about how to walk safely, where it is safe to cross, etc.  The group also has the cooperation of the Hod Hasharon Police.

Walking regularly is particularly important for senior citizens.  It is easy to do, can be done on a daily basis, and does not require special equipment.  Although many seniors are interested in walking for exercise, they often are reluctant to walk alone for fear of falling or being injured when walking alone.  Participants and volunteer counselors are welcome to join.
