Living Streets Scotland
Part of the UK charity for everyday walking
We believe that getting Scotland walking means progress for everyone.
We want to create a walking nation, free from congested roads and pollution, reducing the risk of preventable illness and social isolation, and making walking the natural choice.
We work with professionals and politicians to enable every community to enjoy vibrant streets and public spaces.
Our Walk to School programme reaches every area of Scotland.
Through our Walkable Communities project, we empower community groups to deliver improvements to their walking environment.
One street, one school, one step at a time

Thanks to your support, Scotland made history in 2019 by introducing a nationwide ban on pavement parking.

Walk 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 to make walking to school their natural choice. We need your help.
Find out about the ways Living Streets Scotland gets children walking more, our fab tools for teachers and parents, and our groundbreaking campaign work which underpins our vision of a new walking generation.
Walking Connects
Our Walking Connects project aims to support older people to be more active, and to remain socially connected, through walking.
Healthier Safer Streets
Our Healthier and Safer Streets Community programme supports us to work with local residents and their stakeholders to take action for more walkable streets.
