THE UK CHARITY FOR EVERYDAY WALKING

How can we make roads safer for everyone?

Our new research has revealed that people from poorer communities are more likely to be killed or injured on Britain’s roads.

And for people from ethnic minority groups (excluding white minorities) the risk is greatest of all.

Read our report - and find out what we need to do to address this inequity.

May is National Walking Month

Walking is good for our minds, our bodies and our neighbourhoods. And it's one habit we should all be keeping beyond lockdown.

So this National Walking Month we are asking you to take our pledge to make more local everyday journeys on foot - and everyone who does will go in our prize draw.

Join us and #WalkThisMay.

The health and wellbeing of our staff and stakeholders remains our priority as coronavirus continues to affect our lives. Our offices therefore remain temporarily closed to visitors and the majority of our staff.

We continue to work hard to raise the profile of walking, supporting staff to work remotely, and working with all our partners to ensure our project work is effective from a distance.

We continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation and follow government and health guidelines within England, Scotland and Wales as they develop. In the meantime, should you wish to contact our region-specific offices, please use the following:

We have a big ambition: every child that can, walks to school

A generation ago, 70% of us walked to school – now it’s less than half.

We want to reverse this decline. We want children to be energised and empowered, and to make walking to school their natural choice.

And we know just how to do it.
