THE UK CHARITY FOR EVERYDAY WALKING
Support our Christmas Appeal
It’s been an extraordinary year for us all. We have learned so much about our streets, and spoken out for walking like never before.
Now we want to ensure we are in the best place to deliver on what 2020 has taught us.
And we need you to be part of it.
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?
WOW, our flagship walk to school challenge, is back with brand new resources for primary schools for the 2020/21 year.
Depending on your area and funding availability, your school may be eligible to run WOW for free.
Walk With Us!
Our new five-year strategy
Our vision for walking is bold, ambitious and reflects the changed world we live in.
We want to see three outcomes:
- people choose walking
- better streets for walking
- all walks of life - we want walking to be for everyone.

Pavement parking ban - England next?
An amazing 7,455 people added their voices to our response to the UK Government's consultation on pavement parking in England.
Next we need to write to our MPs.
Scotland has already banned it. This is our chance to do the same in England.
Help us win. Join our campaign to protect pavements for people.

Walking to school safely
Walking is man's best medicine
covid-19 - our offices remain closed
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:
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.
