Back to the School Run! 🚸
As of September 2024, families of 19,700 school-aged children are now part of the UK HomeRun community! That's a 38% increase from 2023 🤩

As a member of their individual school's HomeRun network, these families have been busy exploring alternative school-run travel methods such as walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing. We've already seen impressive air pollution and congestion reductions, as well as school's reporting safer roads! 🌱
