With BetterPoints, the more active you are, the more points you earn and the higher your chances of winning retail vouchers, campus café vouchers or charity donations in your name.
The challenge rewards healthy and sustainable travel and is open to anyone with a university email address. Record your walking, cycling and sustainable travel (bus, train or car sharing) activity on the app and earn BetterTickets for the weekly prize draw. The more you do, the greater your chance of winning a prize.
You can earn extra BetterTickets on University Mental Health Day, Thursday 5 March.
Simply download the BetterPoints app from your usual app store and register with your university email address. Once logged in, click on 'challenges' and the Spring into Action challenge will come up for you to choose. Then just select your department, school or faculty – taking note of which options are marked for staff - and join in.
