Walk To School Month Wristbands

A housebuilding company has donated high-visibility wristbands to schoolchildren in Mill Hill to help keep them safe on their walk to school.

Taylor Wimpey made the donation to Courtland School as part of Walk to School Month which encourages children and parents to make walking to school part of their daily routine, encouraging a healthy lifestyle and cutting car journeys.

Christine Scarborough, regional sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey, said: “Nowadays there is a real concern about the amount of time children spend outside being active and walking to school is an ideal way to help them get more exercise – but it’s important that they can be seen clearly by motorists.

“We hope our high-visibility slap bands will help keep the children safe during the darker winter months and encourage them to walk to school more regularly. More children walking will also help minimise the number of cars on the road at the beginning and end of the school day.”
