KNOW a local group or any individuals in Coventry who have gone the extra mile to improve their community for walking this year?
Living Streets, the UK charity for everyday walking, is looking for inspiring entrants for the Charles Maher Award – Walking Champion 2021 – set up to recognise an individual, group or organisation who has helped achieve a better walking environment and got people walking.
After a year which has seen streets improved so people can walk while socially distancing and seen more people walking for exercise, the charity is keen to celebrate the people who have made this possible.
Chief executive Mary Creagh said: “We know there are some dedicated people out there who work tirelessly for their local community to transform their streets into safer and more attractive places.
“We want to recognise the brilliant work they’ve done which has helped people to stay healthy, happy and connected during the pandemic.”
Individuals, local groups, organisations or local authorities can self-nominate themselves or others.
Nominations close on February 16 2021. Enter here: livingstreets.org.uk/maher
The award will be presented at Living Streets’ National Walking Summit on Thursday March 18. Full details and ticket information at livingstreets.org.uk/NationalWalkingSummit
