How it Works
What are Get Active Challenges?
Corporate and charity active campaigns around physical and mental wellbeing, team engagement and charity fundraising through fun, physical activities over a short ‘challenge’ period of time. Get Active Challenges are designed to inspire and motivate – they are exciting, fun, different and beneficial for all parties.
How does it work?
The concept is simple, we work with you to get your people active, engaged and motivated in a challenge that is specifically branded, themed and timed for your organisation whilst supporting your CSR objectives through charity fundraising.
Through your own customised challenge website and app, all staff activity, results and progress are tracked. Any and all movement counts – run, walk, cycle, swim, online/offline classroom, weights, dog walk, Joe Wicks, treadmill, anything except sedentary!
With your own unique leaderboards, friendly and healthy competition is encouraged within teams, departments, divisions and potentially the senior leadership team! Beat your colleagues or beat the boss! You can also offer additional incentives/prizes to add further excitement.
At the end of the challenge period, all participating staff will be rewarded with an inspiring branded medal to mark their commitment and achievement as well as their support to your nominated charity.
