Exeter - let's create the ultimate walking, running, wheeling, cycling and riding network for everybody in our city and beyond!

 New stretch target


Hi There,

A few years ago I started Slow Ways, a project that's all about making it easier for people to get about under their own steam. 

It's me in the video!

I'd love to bring our mission to Exeter, giving everybody in the city the best active routes - for walking, running, wheeling, cycling and riding - in one easy-to-use place.

Too many people are missing out on active travel, time outdoors and discovering new places simply because they don't know the best way to go. Let's fix that?

I'm fundraising here to:

  • Help create a brilliant active routes network for the Exeter area
  • Enable lots of local charities, schools, clubs, groups and other nonprofits to join that effort by sharing routes for their communities
  • Make the main Slow Ways crowdfunding campaign a success!

Over the last five years Slow Ways volunteers have created a walking network that connects all of Britain's towns and cities. 

Now we want to empower community organisations across the country to create their own active networks - ones that matches people's interests and needs.

To do that, we've launched a very ambitious crowdfunding campaign to extend the Slow Ways network, empower local organisations and create a new website and app. You can see that main campaign in full here.

I'd love your support to enable lots of Exeter organisations to share active routes for their communities and the city as a whole. 

What lots of local Exeter charities, schools, libraries, health teams, clubs and other nonprofit organisations all got involved?

Back this fundraiser to help make that happen. The more we fundraise the more local organisations that will be able to share routes and networks - and the more people who will be able to enjoy them.

I'll manage a fair process for local people and organisations to apply for the memberships. You can contact me via this project page if you are interested.

If you wish to sponsor a specific local organisation and support this Exeter fundraiser, simply choose the relevant reward on this page. That way you’ll get to choose them and support this fundraising effort too!

Support this fundraising page and as well as claiming any individual rewards you choose, you’ll help us get some great rewards for our area too. You can find out more about the individual rewards on the main Slow Ways crowdfunding page.

Rewards will only be fulfilled if Slow Ways hit our main crowdfunding campaign target of £250,000. Every donation will help us get closer to that target.

Please join in and let's get memberships for as many local charities, schools and nonprofits as we can? The more local groups who are part of this, the greater the diversity of us they will be able to inspire and support.

Got more questions? Visit the main Slow Ways crowdfunder or the FAQs page.
