Date of awareness MONTH: 1st - 31st May

National Walking Month

National Walking Month is an effort to get everyone walking as much as possible.

According to Living Streets: “Walking is an easy and accessible way to improve physical and mental health and a 20-minute walk can reduce the risk of a number of preventable health conditions, including certain cancers, depression, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. By swapping a short drive for a short walk, you can also help reduce air pollution, congestion and road danger - whilst saving yourself some money and getting active in the process!” www.livingstreets.org.uk/get-involved/campaign-with-us/national-walking-month

When working with young children it can be an opportunity to develop an understanding of the benefits of an active lifestyle.

On this page we have compiled all of the resources from our website (‘Little Owls-Premium’) which you may find useful when engaging your EARLY YEARS children in learning about the benefits of walking and other forms of active journeys.
