THE UK CHARITY FOR EVERYDAY WALKING
National Walking Summit
Join us online, In person or at one of our viewing hubs
Our 2022 event will focus on how we create truly inclusive streets, bringing together people from across the UK and internationally to explore how we break down barriers to walking and wheeling in order to create places where people want to rest, play and spend time.
And this year we have multiple ways to attend.

Being inclusive - our pledge
We are passionate about making big changes in our communities, and being a powerful voice for pedestrians.
But we simply can’t say that if we are only hearing a limited range of voices.
Read more about how Living Streets is changing the way it conducts its campaigns and Local Groups work.
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.
