Living Streets

Living Streets is the national charity that stands up for pedestrians. With our supporters we work to create safe, attractive and enjoyable streets, where people want to walk.

We have been the national voice for pedestrians throughout our 80 year history. In the early years, our campaigning led to the introduction of the driving test, pedestrian crossings and 30mph speed limits. Since then our ambition has grown. Today we influence decision makers nationally and locally, run successful projects to encourage people to walk, and provide specialist consultancy services to help reduce congestion and carbon emissions, improve public health, and make sure every community can enjoy vibrant streets and public spaces.

Living Streets consists of a committed and passionate team based in London, Newcastle and Scotland. There are currently almost 40 members of staff spread around the country, in order to broaden our geographical reach and ensure that projects belong to local people and communities.

The organisation has developed an excellent reputation within government, amongst related professions and the sector for our policy and campaigning work, our innovative consultancy services and our national campaigns and projects aimed at encouraging and enabling walking. We have recently undergone a re-branding exercise to build on this reputation and expand our reach.
