There’s full guidance on how to take part in Brake’s Kids Walk, including a handy checklist for organisers, and posters that you can print out to tell people about your fundraising activity too. Everything is brightly illustrated and features the popular Shaun the Sheep characters by Aardman.
New this year is the Kids’ manifesto for safe and healthy journeys, this will help you ask your local authority or MP to make changes to protect children when they are walking or cycling.
WHAT IS BRAKE’S KIDS WALK?
In short, it is a supervised walk for schoolchildren to share important road safety messages and speak up for their right to make safe and healthy journeys.
WHY IS BRAKE’S KIDS WALK SO IMPORTANT?
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 and join us in sharing important road safety messages.
