Living Streets started walk to school, the UK’s walking charity that wants to remove barriers to active travel. The campaign has helped primary and secondary pupils experience first-hand the benefits of walking to school.

For one Gloucesteshire County Council employee, the school run is all about walking, cycling and scooting whatever the weather. Share Anne's daily commute together with daughter Lucy!  

With days warming up and more sunlight, Spring is a great time to get active! Thinktravel is supporting two exciting initiatives to get more people out walking, cycling and scooting in March. Have you signed up? 

Four more schools have been successfully chosen to take part in trialling an approach outside school gates to encourage healthy and sustainable travel. Funded by Gloucestershire County Council, the next trials will be launched in the spring. 

Join Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel!

We’re supporting Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel (the new name for Sustrans Big Pedal), the UK's largest inter-school walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling challenge.

There is so much happening in 2022 to help you, your family and school get active whilst promoting healthier, more sustainable travel. Check out these fantastic opportunities with free resources too! 

Too cold to go out? Just make sure you wrap up and have the right gear for the wintry weather - ideally layers. The rewards are immense and there are great guides for Gloucestershire at the click of a phone!
