Chertsey residents are invited to take part in the 8-week Chertsey Pop-Up Trail challenge on the free BetterPoints app. Earn rewards and win prizes for walking, wheeling and scooting around your local neighbourhood.
The BetterPoints app rewards people for travelling in healthier and greener ways. The rewards you earn can be spent with local and national businesses or donated to charity.
Getting started is simple. Download the free app, sign up and complete the short Get Started Survey, then just pop your phone in your pocket as you go about your day – the app will automatically record your trips.
Whether you're heading to the shops, visiting friends or trying out the Bugs and Blooms Activity Trail, can you choose to make more everyday journeys on foot? You will earn exclusive rewards and be in with a chance of winning some fabulous prizes if so!
