Walk to School Week is a national initiative to promote walking and reduce traffic pollution
Living Streets’ Walk to School Week is over for another year and I’d like to thank everyone in Cumbria who made it such a success!
More than 10,000 pupils from 54 Cumbria schools joined pupils across the UK to enjoy the many benefits of walking to school.
Walking to school not only improves air quality but is a great way for children to build exercise into their daily lives, helping them arrive at school healthier, happier and ready to learn.
Living Streets, the UK charity for everyday walking, wants to create a nation where walking is the natural choice for everyday, local journeys; free from congested roads and pollution, reducing the risk of preventable illnesses and social isolation.
