The Clean Air Challenge
Walk, wheel, scoot and cycle for cleaner air!
The Clean Air Challenge is a free event for Hampshire primary schools, designed to inspire healthier and greener journeys. By taking part, your school will help promote the benefits of active and sustainable travel for cleaner air, better health and improved wellbeing for the whole school community.
This year's challenge takes place from 15 to 19 June. Let’s get as many families as possible walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling throughout the week - and beyond!
Take part, make a difference... and your school could win an amazing prize!
