Living Streets

Living Streets We are Living Streets, the UK charity for everyday walking. We believe that a walking nation means progress for everyone.

We want to create a walking nation, free from congested roads and pollution, reducing the risk of preventable illness and social isolation and making walking the natural choice. Our ambition is to get people of all generations to enjoy the benefits that this simple act brings and to ensure all our streets are fit for walking. For more than 85 years weโ€™ve been a beacon for walking. In our early day

s our campaigning led to the UKโ€™s first zebra crossings and speed limits. Now, our campaigns and local projects deliver real change to overcome barriers to walking and our ground breaking initiatives such as the worldโ€™s biggest Walk to School campaign encourage millions of people to walk. Progress starts here: one street, one school, one step at a time.
