Winns Sponsors Byker-Based Primary School

Winn Solicitors is delighted to partner with St Lawrence’s Primary School in Byker for Walk to School Week.

In an effort to raise the profile and benefits of a greener commute to and from school for children, Winns is sponsoring the local school as they take part in Living Streets’ Walk to School Week.

It comes at a time when almost 30% of children in England are either overweight or obese. Not only will it improve health, but also the congestion around school gates thus improving air quality. Over 2,000 schools and nurseries in England and Wales are within 150 metres of a road breaching the legal levels of NO2 pollution.

Group Digital Marketing Manager, Amy Thompson, said: “We have worked with Living Streets over a number of years to support a variety of schools in the local area as they get involved with Walk to School Week.

“Last year was a great success with the children having fun and, more importantly, learning the benefits of walking to school for both their health and the environment.

“To support St Lawrence’s on this campaign week is a way of giving back to the local community.”

Although the campaign is happening nationally this week, St Lawrence’s are planning a series of activities for the week commencing 12th October.
