Support us
Your donations are critical in helping us make big strides towards our vision of a nation where walking and wheeling is the natural choice for everyday journeys.
Together, we’re working to improve our streets, reduce road deaths and congestion, enhance health and air quality, and even boost our economy. We have launched an urgent appeal and are asking for your help.
Our Legacy and Current Work
For over 100 years, Living Streets has been at the forefront of making streets safer. From the introduction of zebra crossings and urban speed limits to the driving test, our efforts have left a lasting impact. And today, thanks to your support, we’re continuing to drive change:
- Campaigning action: We’re calling for increased investment in the walk to school, ensuring that every child can start their day safely.
- Supporting communities: We’re listening to the needs of local communities, empowering them to call for safer streets.
- Research and Advocacy: We’re demonstrating the economic and social value of investing in walking environments, ensuring that walking stays on the government’s agenda.
- Pavement Parking Campaigns: In 2023, Scotland became the first UK nation to ban pavement parking, thanks to our relentless campaigning. Now, we’re working with local authorities to ensure this ban is enforced properly, and we’re pushing for similar action across all nations.
- Local Success Stories: Across the UK, our network of Local Groups is innovating change. We’re supporting volunteers to lead community walks, campaign for walking-friendly neighbourhoods, and make streets more accessible for everyone.
- 20mph Speed Limit in Wales: Living Streets Cymru was instrumental in the national rollout of a default 20mph speed limit on residential streets, a move that will save lives and prevent thousands of injuries every year.
