Get ready to put your best foot forward this June with Shaun the Sheep
Our annual event aimed at children aged 4-11 is only 3 months away … time to get planning to:
- Shout out for safe and healthy journeys for children; and
- Raise awareness with parents and the wider community.
On 22 June 2022, thousands of primary schoolchildren across the UK will take part in a short, supervised walk to share important road safety messages and speak up for their right to be able to walk in their community without fear or threat from traffic or pollution.
WHY IS KIDS WALK SO IMPORTANT *|FNAME|*?
Children of all ages are at risk of being hurt or killed when walking near roads. On average, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in Britain every day – that’s equivalent to a whole classroom of children every week.
Sign up to Brake’s Kids Walk for your free action pack featuring lesson plans, assemblies, activities, and posters, all brightly illustrated and featuring the popular Shaun the Sheep characters by Aardman.
Posters and banners help children call for the things they need to be able to walk safely in their communities, including footpaths, cycle paths, safe places to cross and slow and clean traffic.
Brake will also send you a template manifesto document to help you ask local or national decision-makers to prioritise safe and healthy journeys for children.
“Brake’s Kid Walk is a great way for our school to raise awareness among the community of how we can create a safe environment to enable children to walk, whilst also fundraising to support a worthwhile cause”
Iris Smith, HLTA, Penshurst Primary School
Brake’s Kids Walk is a fabulous opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes.
It’s also a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and raise awareness among parents, carers and the wider community about the need to protect children on our roads.
