National Walking Month

Walking is a wonderful way to improve your physical and mental health. It reduces the risk of depression, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and even some cancers. It can also lift your mood, help you to connect with nature - and replace the car for shorter trips. So you can improve your health, protect the environment and save money just by walking or wheeling!


Even short walks make a big difference, so during National Walking Month you are invited to step up and try walking a little bit further. We'll have daily prizes, medals and a virtual walk to help you along the way. Can you join us for five challenges?

🔟 1-10 May walk or wheel for ten minutes every day to earn a BetterTicket entry into our daily prize draw for 10,000 BetterPoints (that's £10!).
⏱ 11-20 May can you #Try20 for the next ten days? We'll give away 20,000 BetterPoints every day!
🚶🏽 21-31 May what about half an hour a day? You will feel fantastic - and earn an entry into our daily draws for 30,000 BetterPoints!
