Promoting Well Being

The Step Challenge, which is funded by the Southern Area Physical Activity Implementation Group, was introduced as a pilot scheme in 2005 to promote walking as an achievable and enjoyable daily activity. Pedometers are also provided as a tool to motivate teams and individuals to become more active and experience the health benefits of regular walking.  To date almost 2000 people have taken part.

The challenge runs over 4 weeks with teams of ten entering from workplaces, day centres and primary care settings recording the amount of steps taken daily.

The challenge finishes with a celbration event highlighting the achievements of teams and individuals.
