Our  lifestyles are becoming increasingly sedentary, with more than a third of children leaving primary school either overweight or obese. The simple act of walking to school would help children stay active and healthy. But with busy lives, not every parent has time to walk with their child anymore. Less than half the children in the UK still actively walk to school.

Walkme is a community-organised service that empowers more children to walk to school. It challenges the existing options of either driving children to school or hiring someone to walk them, by leveraging local trust networks combined with smart routing technology. Walkme connects children going to school with trusted companions for a safe and fun journey!

The Walkme service consists of a mobile app for the parents, and safety-wear for the children.  The gamification in the system is designed to keep the experience fun and exciting for everyone involved! Walkme helps nurture a culture of walking and enjoying the benefits of this simple act from a young age, and teaches our younger generations to be active in their community and care for their environment.
