Step outside, feel better...and get rewarded!
Published Wednesday 09 September 2026
Good news!
Thanks to new funding, the BetterPoints – Think, Move, Breathe app will continue running until June 2027, giving even more people the opportunity to earn rewards for making active and sustainable travel choices.
Whether you walk, wheel, cycle, run, or use public transport, every journey can help improve your health, boost your wellbeing, and earn you points along the way.
Why get involved?
Spending time outdoors and incorporating movement into your day can have a positive impact on both your physical and mental wellbeing. A short walk at lunchtime, cycling to work, or swapping the car for the bus or train are simple changes that can help you:
- get more fresh air and exercise
- improve your mood and reduce stress
- increase energy levels and overall wellbeing
- connect with your local community
- reduce your environmental impact
And now there's an extra incentive.
Travel. Earn. Reward Yourself.
The free BetterPoints app tracks your journeys and awards points based on how far you travel and which sustainable mode of transport you use. Points can then be:
- redeemed for vouchers from local businesses
- donated to charities
- used to enter prize draws
It's a simple way to turn everyday journeys into real rewards. Use code SLC26 when you sign up to get a reward for signing up.
Taking cycling further
If you've been thinking about cycling to work, our Cycle to Work Scheme makes it easier and more affordable to get started.
The scheme, which has been running successfully for more than 10 years, lets employees choose a bike and cycling safety equipment through a salary sacrifice arrangement, spreading the cost over 12 months while saving on tax.
More than 1,000 council employees have used the scheme.
By combining the Cycle to Work Scheme with the BetterPoints app, you can enjoy the benefits of cycling and earn rewards every time you travel actively.
Download the BetterPoints – Think, Move, Breathe app today and start earning rewards for your journeys.
