Sustainable Schools Event Workshop

At the beginning of March Brightkidz held a very successful day's workshop to provide ideas on how to promote walking to school. The session was fun and practical, getting the children outside in the fresh air which makes them more active and alert. It also helps them and their teachers understand different walk to school schemes.

The workshop was a big hit with everyone getting involved and appearing to enjoy themselves. If you are interested in holding your own workshops why not take a look at our website http://www.brightkidz.co.uk/walking-to-school/event-workshops.html for more ideas.

Easter is on its way!

Where does the time go? To think that it is Easter next weekend and the children on holiday once more. Thankfully the weather is improving, nights are getting lighter and all the bikes are coming out of the shed. Did you know that according to Sustrans research in early 2009, that 79% of British women never cycle at all. To help remedy this situation Sustrans has produced a guide called Bike Belles which is packed full of ideas, tips and advice to help you enjoy enjoy riding your bike. So go on get your bike out and experience the joy of cycling.

St Patricks Day

As today is St Patrick's day why not wear something green? Here at Brightkidz we have plenty of eye catching items so you too can have the luck of the Irish. How about a high viz waistcoat for when you are going to and from your St Patrick's day event!

Clocks changing

We've only 2 more weeks before the clocks go forward giving us an extra hour of daylight. So this means that we can all get out and about in the extra daylight. It's interesting to note that recent research by Sustrans, the UK's leading sustainable transport charity, has shown that 79% of British Woman never cycle at all. Why is that? In an attempt to get more women cycling they have produced a guide called "The Bike Belles Guide" which can be downloaded free from their site. So come on all you women lets get out on those bikes and see what we've been missing!
