Big Lottery Funded projects from Living Streets

Three Living Streets projects have been made possible through funding from the Big Lottery Fund. Our national Walking Works campaign, Walk to School Secondary Campaign and our new Fitter for Walking projects are all part of a portfolio of projects being delivered by a Consortium of the leading walking cycling and health organisations, and funded through the Big Lottery Fund's Wellbeing Programme. The Programme provides funding to support the development of healthier lifestyles and to improve well-being.

The Consortium is led by Sustrans and includes British Cycling, CTC, Cycling England, Living Streets, London Cycling Campaign, the National Heart Forum, the National Obesity Forum, the Ramblers' Association, Campaign for Better Transport and Walk 21. It is delivering a portfolio of projects that will enable 2 million people nationwide to become more physically active by walking or cycling as part of their daily lives by 2012.

The Big Lottery Fund, the largest of the National Lottery good cause distributors, has been rolling out grants to health, education, environment and charitable causes across the UK since its inception in June 2004.
