Fundraising in your workplace
People of all ages and abilities should be able to walk freely, safely, breathe fresh air and socialise on our streets and public places.
By fundraising for Living Streets, you help us make streets safer for all and bring back a walking culture. The more we walk, the more our communities become friendlier, safer and nicer places to live.
Here are a few ideas of ways to fundraise for Living Streets
