School kids face the risk of road accidents daily, navigating busy streets and intersections. With their limited experience and vulnerability, they are more susceptible to accidents, often caused by speeding or distracted drivers. Addressing this issue is crucial, not just for the safety of these young pedestrians but also for fostering awareness among drivers and creating safer environments around schools. It’s a collective responsibility to ensure the well-being of our children as they travel to and from educational institutions.

Stepping into the forefront of child safety, Brake is committed to mitigating the risks school kids face on the roads. As a charity dedicated to road safety, Brake focuses on education campaigns, advocacy for safer infrastructure, and support for affected families. Their noble efforts reflect a dedication to creating a world where children can travel to school safely, emphasizing the importance of prevention and community involvement in making our roads secure for young pedestrians.

As Brake continues its impactful initiatives, attention turns to their upcoming fundraising event, “BRAKE’S KIDS WALK,” scheduled for June 19, 2024. Supporters eagerly anticipate this event as an opportunity to contribute to Brake’s crucial mission of child road safety. The event promises a day of community engagement, rallying participants to walk in solidarity for safer streets, and raising awareness about the importance of protecting our children on their daily journeys.

What is Brake’s Kids Walk?
Brake’s Kids Walk involves thousands of primary schoolchildren walking at the same time to promote the health and planet-saving benefits of walking and shout out for their right to make safe and healthy journeys.

Why is Brake’s Kids Walk important?
At Brake, we believe that every child has the right to walk in their community without fear of traffic and pollution. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk safely in the places where they live. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active.

Children of all ages are at risk of being hurt or killed when walking near roads. On average, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in Britain every day – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week.

Brake’s Kids Walk is a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face, promote the benefits of walking, and raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the need to protect children on roads.

It’s also a great opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes.
