Our ambition is to inspire, support and enable residents and communities to walk and wheel in their everyday lives.
Evidence shows that working in collaboration with many organisations and stakeholders, whilst putting the individuals at the centre, and considers their social and physical environment, the services available to them and wider policy are most effective in supporting long term behaviour change.
Walking can dramatically improve our physical and mental wellbeing. It can reduce social isolation and inequalities. It can also have a positive impact on climate change and our environment and connect communities. By working together, we aim to make walking easier and safer and more accessible within our neighbourhoods.
There is not single solution or intervention. Implementation requires a collective and co-ordinated response across all settings where people live, work and play – by all relevant stakeholders, at all levels to ensure a more active future.
