Part of the UK charity for everyday walking
We believe that getting Scotland walking means progress for everyone.
We want to create a nation where walking and wheeling is that natural choice for everyday, local journeys.
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.

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.
