Put your boots on and join in walking month

PEOPLE in Staffordshire are being urged to lace up their shoes and step into a healthier lifestyle this May, as part of National Walking Month.

Walking is a great way to improve health and wellbeing and to reduce stress, whilst helping the environment. And, with many short journeys taken by car through habit, Staffordshire County Council is encouraging people to ditch the car and ‘Walk This May’ instead.

Staffordshire schools are also invited to join the campaign, with younger pupils encouraged to become ‘Walking Warriors! Walking to school helps keep children active, improves focus in the classroom and cuts down on congestion at the school gates.
