If you live in Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark, have a young family and want to improve the health and well-being of you and your children, then our free Little legs big strides programme can help.

We offer a programme of walking activities, information and individual advice and support from trained volunteer walking ambassadors who know the local area inside out. Little Legs programmes run mainly at Sure Start/Children's Centres or schools, and all walking activities take place nearby.

The scheme is part of our Get Walking Keep Walking project to help people in big cities do more regular local walking to improve their health and well-being.
