We are here to support everyone in walking to school - whether that's all the way, getting off the bus one stop early, or parking up a little distance away from the school gates - it all helps! Walking to school is one of the easiest ways to improve your and your children’s health. It’s also free, great for the environment, and social - 90% of parents who walk their children to school recognise that the journey is an important time for them to socialise with their children, with over a third stating that the journey to school is where they find out the most about their child’s life.
One great way to encourage your children to walk is with our WoW (Walk Once a Week) scheme, which rewards children for walking with collectable pin badges. You can order our brand new Parents Pack online for a whole year's worth of badges and a wallchart to record your child's walking at home.
If you want to irmpove the streets in your area, or your child's walk to school, check our our free downloadable Campaign Packs, which will help you take action locally. You can also find out if there are any Local Groups near you, campaigning in your area, and post your concerns on the Living Streets Forum
