Within hours of first advertising, more than 200 women had expressed an interest, with the first outings taking place across the borough s parks last week.
Keen to build on this momentum, April is to meet with Redbridge Council to discuss the initiative, and has been enlisting volunteer mentors to lead particular walks.
One such mentor is Emma Bell, who led her first Fairlop Waters walk on Monday (April 26).
Emma went along to the first session after seeing the initiative online, and was buoyed by what she saw.
She said: I m excited to see the project grow and empower more women to go outside and enjoy their local areas and have a positive experience.

A group of volunteers who helped distribute donations to the homeless right before Christmas were overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from the community.
Sunny who has been homeless since the start of this year was one of the people who was happy to get the donations from the volunteers.

Organiser Gavin Brooks, who is a promoter for Splendid Events, was originally going to just privately help distribute some food and winter clothing to the homeless people in Ilford with his family but he decided to put out a call on social media to see who else could help.
