Living Streets' national Walking Works campaign is part of a portfolio of projects being delivered by a consortium of the leading walking, cycling and health organisations and funded through the Big Lottery Fund's Wellbeing Programme.

The Programme provides funding to support the development of healthier lifestyles and to improve well-being.

The Consortium is led by Sustrans and includes British Cycling, CTC, Cycling England, Living Streets, London Cycling Campaign, National Heart Forum, National Obesity Forum, Ramblers’ Association, Campaign for Better Transport and Walk 21.

It is delivering a portfolio of projects that will enable two million people nationwide to become more physically active by walking or cycling as part of their daily lives by 2012.
