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:
