THE UK CHARITY FOR EVERYDAY WALKING
Highway Code
As part of ambitious plans to get the country moving more, the UK government has launched a review of the Highway Code.
And the big news is that amongst its proposals is explicitly making pedestrians top priority of all road users.
This is big - help us seal the deal and join our campaign.
Walking to school safely
Make school streets safer
Our schools have to be safe for staff, pupils and families - and this includes the streets around them. So it is vital that our councils consider removing motor traffic from outside school gates
Email your council today and ask them to use powers they already have.
E-Scooters
The government has announced that it will become legal to ride e-scooters on Britain's roads from Saturday, 4 July 2020.
We are concerned at the speed with which the government is moving forward with e-scooter trials and the loose guidance given to local authorities.
Find out why - and your voice.
WOW is back for 20/21!
Want to be part of the pupil-led scheme that has helped thousands of schools tackle road safety issues, pollution, congestion and childhood inactivity?

Walking is man's best medicine
covid-19 - our offices are closed
The health and wellbeing of our staff and stakeholders remains our priority during these unprecedented times. Our offices are therefore temporarily closed.
In the meantime, we are working 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, and hope to return to our offices when it is safe to do so.
Join our campaigns to improve the walking environment
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.
