In 2023 we launched Every Journey Matters, a brand new project taking place in schools that helps young people learn about the stories in their families and those of others in their school community. This is intended to foster a sense of emplacement and identity that can aid social cohesion in super diverse communities.
Launched as a Public Health project, Every Step Matters is inspired by the Daily Mile schools programme with whom we have previously collaborated. We have installed user-friendly walking routes in eight city parks and local people have provided positive feedback. These brightly coloured routes enable local people to quickly ascertain the distance of their regular exercise and realise some of the health benefits of walking, cycling or simply enjoying local green spaces.
