Living Streets has organised National Walking Month again this May. Ruth Billingham of Living Streets writes:

"Throughout the month, we’ll be asking people to #Try20 and fit 20 minutes of walking into their day. This year, we're inviting you to discover the
#MagicOfWalking and celebrate the many health and happiness benefits
of walking and wheeling.

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."

Living Streets has put together a #Try20 checklist to help people get fit by putting 20 minutes of walking or wheeling into each day.

May also sees the return of Walk to School Week (20-24 May) when the health and social benefits associated with walking to school are celebrated.

Living Streets will also use the month to make calls for safer streets and neighbourhoods, as well as releasing new polling data showing attitudes to walking and launching a prize draw.
