It's #ThankYouWeek at Walk Wheel Cycle Trust 🥳 Charles from Edinburgh has supported us for over 30 years after a friend introduced him to the charity. "It seemed like such a brilliant idea to develop this cycle network. To connect up cities across Britain by cycle routes. What’s not to like?”

We make it possible for everyone to walk, wheel and cycle. Because it changes everything. Our health. Our wellbeing. Our world 🌍 But we couldn't do this without the help of our supporters. From 19th-23rd January, we'll be celebrating the people who help bring our work to life ❤️
