Each October, primary school children from across the UK join forces with over 40 countries worldwide to celebrate the benefits of walking to school.
Walk to School Month in the UK is run by Living Streets. In 2012, we’ll be celebrating with Strider’s International Walking Challenge. This month-long activity encourages pupils to walk at least once a week for the month. We provide classroom packs that include everything a school needs to run a month-long challenge, encouraging pupils to walk.
This Walk to School Month, Living Streets is delighted to be teaming up with children’s shoe manufacturer Start-rite
to encourage more children to walk to school during International Walk
to School Month.
Start-rite are sponsoring 20 schools in the Greater
Manchester area to take part in Living Streets’ WoW (Walk once a Week)
scheme which awards badges as incentives for children to walk to school
regularly.
