Dear applicant

Thank you for your interest in a Board Trustee role with Walk Wheel Cycle Trust. Could you play a part in what comes next for us, and share our passion for the journey ahead?

We’re stepping confidently into the future and building on nearly 50 years of impact as Sustrans, an organisation that helped pioneer the UK’s sustainable travel movement. From the creation of the Bristol-Bath path to the National Cycle Network, School Streets and beyond, our legacy is one of bold ideas, practical delivery, and lasting change.

Now, with a new name and renewed purpose, we’re more ambitious than ever. Our purpose is simple: To make it possible for everyone to walk, wheel and cycle, because it changes everything. Our health. Our wellbeing. Our world.

I'm proud to be Chair of our Board of Trustees, with each individual bringing a remarkable breadth of experience and insight to our work. Leadership and oversight are vital to ensuring that our talented colleagues and passionate volunteers can continue delivering transformative work across the UK. Together, we’re shaping thriving, well-designed communities where people can move freely and joyfully.

Looking ahead to 2050, our strategy for the National Cycle Network is bold:

Fix it – A seamless, safe and stunning national network.

Love it – A network embraced by local communities.

Green it – One that restores nature and connects us to it.

Connect it – Linking people, places and transport options.

And we’re building a people-powered movement; one that empowers millions, makes active travel a right not a privilege, and inspires unstoppable political will

If this strategy excites you, I invite you to consider joining our Board. You’ll be part of a dynamic, committed team helping to shape the future of movement in the UK, ensuring that walking, wheeling and cycling are safe, accessible and joyful for everyone, everywhere.

Best wishes

Moray Macdonald

Chair
