The 'Walk One A Week' programme promoted by Living Streets encourages over 400,000 children across the UK to walk to school at least one day each week.
This hugely successful initiative is just one part of their wider engagement with schools and also of their national walk to school campaign, which also includes 'Walk to School Week' and our new one day event 'Happy Shoesday'. As well as these behaviour change programmes, Living Streets conducts school route audits and can work with you to promote change to the streets surrounding your school creating safer, quieter and more pleasant routes for children to walk. Their 'Park and Stride' schemes create opportunity for those living further away from the school to walk part of their journey and keep the school gates from becoming congested. And who knows, if you're working with them, you might just get a visit from our loveable mascot Strider too.
