Walking isn’t only good for our physical, social and mental health. It’s also good for our communities, the environment and the economy.
We support and inspire people in Scotland to walk and wheel more.

Walking is good for organisations. It helps employees stay healthy and supports workplaces to achieve their environmental targets.
Did you know that a physically active workforce is less stressed and takes 27% fewer sick days per year? As well as the physical, mental and social benefits of walking, a workplace where people walk more can reduce its environmental impact.
We can support you to create a walking culture at your workplace. By walking together, we can help you work towards achieving your corporate social responsibilities (CSR) or your environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets.
We celebrate the employers that do better by encouraging walking at work.
The Walk at Work Award is our free accreditation scheme helping Scottish organisations of all sizes create a workplace walking culture.
We support you to achieve the award. We provide guidance on different areas that can support employees to walk more. From lunchtime wanders and switched-up commutes to fun challenges and workplace walking routes.
Register your interest and a member of the team will be in touch.
Our fun and ever-popular Step Count Challenge encourages Scottish workplaces to walk more. The challenge inspires healthy habits and shares ideas about how you can add walking into your workday.
