The My Journey Team at Hampshire County Council is asking school communities to get moving for our wellbeing, our community and our planet by taking part in Walktober 2023.
We are encouraging pupils, families and staff to find opportunities to travel actively and sustainably throughout October by walking, wheeling, cycling, scooting, using Park and Stride or public transport. To encourage everyone to get involved there are two exciting Walktober competitions for schools and pupils to enter with some fantastic prizes to be won!
Walktober is open to all Hampshire schools and settings, and both competitions include challenges suitable for everyone to take part in. School types include early years, primary schools, secondary schools, special schools and education centres, whether in rural or urban areas of the County.
Sign up now by visiting Walktober. Registration closes on Friday 29th September 2023.
