New app to help people get active

-

A new initiative to encourage people to get active has been launched in East Renfrewshi­re.

Choose How U Move East Ren launched on Monday 17 and runs until October 31.

It aims to help people living and working in East Renfrewshi­re engage in a more active lifestyle by choosing to walk, run, wheel or cycle when travelling in and around the region.

Those who take part will be able to earn rewards and win some fantastic prizes.

Funded by Paths for All’s Smarter Choices, Smarter Places Open Fund, and by Sustrans’ Spaces for People programme, there are many ways to earn rewards, win prizes and gain little treats for being active.

Visit the Choose How U Move East Ren website where you can download the app and register to join.

Grant-funded by Transport Scotland, the Paths for All programme aims to increase active and sustainabl­e travel throughout Scotland, while Sustrans’ Spaces for People programme, grant- funded by the Scottish Government, offers funding and support to make it safer for people who choose to walk, cycle or wheel for essential trips and exercise during Covid-19.
