Walk to School Week

Everyone is at it this month with "Walk to School Week" kicking off on the 17th May until the 21st May. This year the theme is "Walk your Way" focusing on how walking to school helps children learn vital orientating skills to help them navigate and get to know their local area, improving confidence and safety.

We have some great products to help everyone participate in this great scheme

Moonwalk London 2010

On a foolish whim last year I agreed to take part in the Playtex Moonwalk in London, organised by Walk the Walk to raise awareness and money for breast cancer causes. Only now, with 3 weeks to go the full realisation that I have to walk 26 miles starting at midnight, wearing only a bra, is starting to sink in!!

Everyone here at Brightkidz is being great, offering lots of support and encouragement and you certainly wont miss me in all of my highvis gear definitely putting the company motto of "Seeing you go safely" to the test. Training is going well with a possible walk of 18 - 20 miles tomorrow. Keep a look out for further bulletins.

Bike to School Week

Did you know that next week 26 - 30 April is Bike to School Week which is an excellent way to get youngsters on their bikes. There are so many benefits for children from cycling to school, not only are they fitter, they are more alert at school and making the most of this fine weather. Whilst many parents may be concerned about the safety aspect of children cycling to school, if you don some highvis gear, be it a waistcoat, or reflector or sash, then they have more chance of being spotted by motorists.

So why not give us a call or check out the website Brightkidz.co.uk to get some promotional items to make your Bike to School Week go with a swing.
