A decade of success for our Active School Travel programme

Xavier Brice, Chief Executive Officer at Sustrans, visited Holy Family Primary School in Belfast to celebrate the milestone. He said:

“We are thrilled to mark a decade of this superb Active School Travel programme, and to celebrate these amazing results for the children and their schools.  

“More and more schools want to help their pupils enjoy better physical and mental health through active journeys.

“Like Sustrans, they believe every child should be able to safely walk, wheel and cycle to school – exactly what this programme helps support.

“Here’s to the next ten years.” 

Positive experience for school community

Miss Siobhan McQuaid, Principal of Holy Family Primary School in Belfast said:

“Working with Sustrans through the Active School Travel programme has been such a positive experience for our school community.  

“We are keen to support more children to walk and cycle to school to benefit their physical and mental health, to reduce congestion and pollution outside our school, to help families save money, and to help build important lifelong skills.”
