This May, people across the UK will be leaving their cars at home and taking to their feet in the Great British Walking Challenge. National Walk to Work Week (14-18) May is one event taking place during the month long challenge which encourages commuters to walk their way to a health lifestyle.

Virya Technologies will be taking part in Walk to Work Week and will be encouraging people to incorporate walking into their daily routine. During the week, employees will be encouraged to log their walking miles, whether its on the way to or from work, during their lunch break, or even as part of a walking meeting using a special online tool.

National charity Living Streets run the Walk to Work Campaign, funded by the Big Lottery Fund, to highlight the role that walking can play in bringing some much-needed activity into our daily lives. Virya Technologies is taking part in this year’s Walk to Work Week by walking to meetings, taking short walks during lunch breaks, etc.

The benefits of walking, for health, the environment and people’s pockets, are well documented. What’s often missing is the encouragement to make walking a regular part of people’s daily lives. Living Streets, supported by Virya Technologies aims to change this by encouraging people to incorporate walking into their daily routine and supporting them with tips, advice and motivation.
