Help Us Grow the Greenway—One Post at a Time
The Wharfedale Greenway is more than a path—it’s a vision for a greener, safer, and more connected future across our valley. From Pool-in-Wharfedale, Otley, Menston, Burley in Wharfedale, Ilkley and Addingham, we’re building momentum for a traffic-free route that supports walking, cycling, and community wellbeing.
But to make this vision a reality, we need your help—not just on the ground, but online.
Why Social Media Matters
Every like, share, and follow helps us show decision-makers that the community is behind this project. It’s not just about numbers—it’s about voices. When our posts reach more people, we raise awareness, attract new supporters, and strengthen our case for funding and infrastructure improvements.
What You Can Do
We’re looking for friendly, creative folks to join our social media team. Whether you’re a whizz with words, love snapping photos on your walks, or just enjoy sharing good news, there’s a place for you.
You could help us:
- ✍️ Write short, engaging posts about Greenway updates, events, or local stories
- 📸Budding photographers taking pictures along the route for our website or socila media
- 📸 Share photos or videos from your favourite walking or cycling spots
- 🚁Create drone footage of routes or around Wharfedale
- 📢 Help spread the word by reposting and tagging friends or local groups
- 💡 Suggest ideas for content that would inspire others to get involved
No experience needed—just a passion for community and some spare time.
What We Talk About
Our supporters care about:
- Active travel and safer streets
- Nature, sustainability, and local wildlife
- Family-friendly routes and outdoor adventures
- Community events and local history
- Making Wharfedale a better place to live, work, travel and explore
