Page Text: We work to ensure that the benefits of walking and cycling are enjoyed by everyone
The benefits of walking, cycling, wheeling and healthy places aren’t experienced in the same way by everyone. We prioritise work with people and in places that challenge this.
We involve people with different and seldom-heard voices, to develop solutions that work for everyone.
We keep questioning and asking if we can do more. We know we can’t do this on our own so we work closely with others.
If you’re not physically active, don’t have access to a car, and live in a congested neighbourhood, it being easy to walk, cycle, scoot or wheel around, with fewer cars on the roads, can make a big difference.
Xavier Brice, Sustrans CEO
We’ve been working on walking and cycling since 1977
We have a clear vision for the future
Our vision is a society where the way we travel creates healthier places and happier lives for everyone.
Our mission is to make it easier for people to walk and cycle.
We have developed a theory of change to demonstrate how our projects bring about change. This:
Helps us evidence our impact
Provides an accessible summary of a complex situation
Helps us understand how and why our interventions work, and identify new ones
Defines the short-term benefits for people and places, and long-term societal changes.
