Mission complete! Walk to School Week 2026 is over and what an amazing week it’s been!

Over a quarter of a million pupils across the UK took part in our challenge. A huge thank you to all the schools, parents, carers and pupils for walking and wheeling towards healthier, safer streets – you’ve helped make this the best Walk to School Week yet!

A new report reveals that neglected, poorly lit pavements and too few public toilets are preventing many older people from walking and wheeling as part of their daily routine. The report corresponds with our own findings.

Our Slips, Trips and Falls report found that there could be as many as one million outdoor falls among people aged over 65 in England each year. Ahead of Living Streets' National Walking Month, we also asked people what stops them walking more, and nearly one in five over 55s said 'a lack of public toilets'
