Walking Works

The Walking Works campaign helps workplaces promote walking and encourage individuals to walk for all or part of their journey to work. We do this through national awareness events such as Walk to Work Week, providing online support to individuals and employers, as well as a Campaign Partner Scheme.

We enable businesses to promote walking to their employees through monthly e-bulletins full of the latest tips and information on walking and by offering free resources such as posters and pledge cards. We work directly with businesses in our Campaign Partner Scheme. We are working with ten businesses across London and four nationally to help them run various interventions which encourage walking, in addition to guidance on structural and policy changes.

In 2009 we ran the first ever Walk to Work Week which was a show stopping success for Living Streets! The week (27 April - 1 May) saw participation from well over 500 workplaces across the nation, and just under 5000 employees. We tasked individuals with taking part in any of the five challenges and inputting their minutes walked into our specially built microsite. Together participants managed to walk 2.7 times around the world and save 12,791 kg of carbon!
