Why Walk?

Whether you're commuting, taking a break, or spending time with family, walking:

  • Boosts mental and physical health

  • Supports your local economy

  • Encourages time to relax and connect with others

Walk to School Week

From 20–24 May 2025, hundreds of thousands of children across the country will be walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling to school for Living Streets' Walk to School Week. Let’s inspire the next generation to enjoy the benefits of active travel.
