Walking and cycling is what we do

We work exclusively on active travel projects. You'll enjoy the benefits of working with well-connected people who truly understand this complex landscape and have the skills to navigate it successfully.

Supporting you to make the case for change

We walk and bike the talk

We're a charity, so we can dare to dream big and be a critical friend at the same time. 

As custodians of the National Cycle Network and with 40 years of experience behind us, your investment in walking and cycling will be proven to be an efficient and effective use of funding.

We engaged Sustrans to help us develop a vision for Bermondsey Street because of their track record in engagement, and they have definitely delivered. The Sustrans team has been out there on the street in all weather engaging with local residents, businesses and visitors. So we're very confident that the recommendations that come out of the work will be well-founded and powerful.

Our design and engineering team works across multiple scales, specialities, and spaces.  We make it easier to walk, wheel and cycle by creating healthy, sociable, accessible and inspiring places with and for communities.
