We want to get Scotland walking and wheeling.

Everyone. Everywhere. Everyday.

We promote the benefits of walking and wheeling on our physical, social, and mental health. Our programmes connect communities and inspire positive behaviour change. We also improve places and spaces to walk and wheel.

We’re an advocate for making walking and wheeling inclusive. We work with partners and local communities to reduce barriers. This ensures everyone has the chance to walk or wheel everywhere they go. By focusing on walking and wheeling, we’re helping to solve some of Scotland’s biggest challenges, from health inequalities to the climate-nature emergency.

Our vision

Scotland is a walking nation. Everyone has the opportunity to walk and wheel, creating a happier, healthier and greener Scotland.

Our mission

We support people in Scotland to be active every day. We believe walking and wheeling are the best ways to do this.

Walking and wheeling is for everyone.
By creating inclusive opportunities for everyone to walk and wheel, we can connect communities and help people live healthier, happier lives. By focusing our efforts on those who can benefit the most, we can reduce some of Scotland’s biggest health inequalities and reduce pressures on the NHS.

Walking and wheeling is for everywhere.
If our towns, cities and rural areas are designed and managed for walking and wheeling, we will reduce car use, improve connectedness and allow everyone to benefit from accessing natural environments.

Walking and wheeling is for everyday.
By making walking and wheeling the default choice for short journeys, leisure, socialising or a part of longer public transport journeys, we will improve physical, mental and social health, and support Scotland’s journey to net zero.
