The Sustrans communities team has developed a series of free interactive webinars exploring how active travel can help address some of the pressing issues faced by communities.
The webinars are primarily aimed at staff and volunteers of community groups and organisations, but anyone with an interest in community health, wellbeing, climate action, environment, or generally making their neighbourhoods more walkable and cycle friendly is welcome to attend. All webinars include information on how community organisations can set up a project to encourage their communities to walk, wheel or cycle more and what support is available from Sustrans.

The content can be adapted to suit the needs of the audience.
