If you are walking the Tawd enjoying the Autumnal delights, why not download the BetterPoints app and earn reward points?  You can use the app to track your walking, running or cycling – and earn ‘Skelmersdale Reward’ points to cash in for high street vouchers (or to donate to charity).

Tech innovation company BetterPoints has been working in Skelmersdale over the last 18 months, encouraging residents towards better health by using a behaviour change app to increase activity levels.

This Skelmersdale Reward scheme was introduced by Well Skelmersdale, as part of its drive to improve health in the town, and is supported by West Lancs Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Active West Lancs and West Lancs CVS.

Recent feedback suggests that the BetterPoints app is changing people’s lives for the better.  Local resident Kimberley says: ‘On Sundays instead of lazy days we now go for long countryside walks, all because of the BetterPoints app. The app helps to keep me active and encourages my 10 year old son to do the same.  I find myself wanting to walk for longer periods of time to see the points add up, me and my son have opted to walk to and from school rather than going in the car.’

So when you are out walking the Tawd, start feeling better, getting fitter and earn Skelmersdale Rewards today!  Download the BetterPoints app today from the App Store or Google Play.
