Harrogate district schools set to take part in Walk to School Day 2022
A total of 28 schools in the Harrogate district will take part in Walk to School Day on Friday. The event aims to raise awareness of "good transport habits".
Local environmental group, Zero Carbon Harrogate, is set to hold its annual Walk to School Day for 2022.
The event will be held on Friday (October 7) with a focus on “building good transport habits”.
A further five walk to school days will be held in November, February, March, May and June.
This year, Zero Carbon Harrogate has changed the format of the walk to focus on taking part and building good transport habits, rather than calculating winners.
A spokesperson for the group said:
“This year, our strategy is slightly different. Instead of calculating winners and announcing our leaderboard, the event simply focuses on taking part, building good transport habits – ideally on a daily basis - and spreading the word.
“At the end of the 2022-2023 school year, we will present gold, silver and bronze certificate awards to all participating schools in the area, depending on the number of events they took part in over the academic year."
