Every 20 minutes in the UK, a child is hurt or killed on foot, most on the way to or from school. Nearly half of our kids are now driven to school meaning more obesity and traffic danger. By taking part in the Giant Walking Bus, you educate children and parents and your community about the dangers of speeding and the benefits of walking, and support a vital charity caring for families bereaved by crashes.

At 10am on Wednesday 15 June 2011, you, with hundreds of other schools at exactly the same moment, will help us break a world record by being among more than 100,000 children all marching in a crocodile of twos (holding hands), with adults accompanying them, on a 500m safe route, displaying your classroom-created placards saying SLOW DOWN or other road safety messages (sandwich boards hung over shoulders are best so hands are still free to hold). You do this on safe pavements around your school, or if there’s no safe route, around your playground, and every child gets a sticker and certificate for taking part! You also get the opportunity to run road safety lessons around the event, meeting curriculum safety and citizenship goals - we give you the ideas! Please also get pupils to raise sponsorship for Brake’s work supporting families bereaved by road crashes - most schools do this and we give you colourful sponsorship envelopes. See fabulous free resources you get if you take part!
