Spring into Action this May to win prizes!
Every week throughout the Spring into Action Workplace Challenge challenge there are nearly £300 worth of prizes up for grabs for you and your colleagues to win simply by walking, jogging and cycling in and around Greater Norwich and Great Yarmouth. By taking part you can also help your workplace to win a £100 donation to charity!
Become our Spring into Action Champion, by completing the most amount of activities during the challenge, and you can also win £100 worth of BetterPoints and £100 to donate to a charity of your choice.
Active Norfolk have partnered with BetterPoints to use their free app to run this fantastic workplace challenge as part of the Active Workplaces programme which is supported by Pushing Ahead Norfolk.
How do I record my activities?
Tap the Play ▶ button in the top right corner of the app.
Track your activity via Automatic (always on) or Manual Tracking (when you want to track a specific activity).
How can I win a prize?
You will earn one BetterTicket for every walking, cycling and running activity you record via the BetterPoints app each week during the challenge (of at least half a mile) in the Pushing Ahead reward zone - visit the Frequently asked questions here to see the rewards zone. At the end of the week all your tickets will go into a prize draw to win a variety of prizes ranging from £15 to £50!
Workplace prize - A £100 donation will be given to charity as a reward to the workplaces who get the most amount of their employees taking part in the challenge. This will be scored over four size categories and based on percentage engagement of staff who log a minimum of one activity during the challenge to ensure organisations of all sizes have a fair chance of winning. For more information on the workplace categories visit the FAQs page.
What is the difference between BetterTickets and BetterPoints?
BetterTickets are a prize draw entry earned for doing a specific activity. The tickets you earn automatically enter you into our weekly prize draws.
BetterPoints are something you can win through the prize draws. They are a financially backed currency that you can redeem for high street vouchers or give to your favourite charity or community group. (1,000 BetterPoints is equivalent to £1.)
What can I spend my points on?
Check out our list of vouchers by tapping Redeem on the bottom navigation bar of your app. You can also give your points to your favourite charity or community group by tapping Donate.
