It will be at Bookers Wholesale in Ettingshall from 9.30am to 1pm today (Tuesday 28 March, 2023), Morrisons Pendeford tomorrow (Wednesday) from 8am to 2pm and outside The Fruit and Veg Shop in Blakenhall on Friday from 9am to 2pm.
Staff will be on hand to talk to people about the Better Health: Rewards programme and showing people how to sign up, download the free app and order a free fitness tracker if they need one.
Wolverhampton has been selected by the Government's Office for Health Improvement and Disparities to exclusively pilot Better Health: Rewards, designed to test whether offering rewards and incentives can help people to eat better and increase their physical activity levels.
It is open to everyone aged 18 and over who lives in Wolverhampton. They will be given personalised health challenges, such as increasing their step count or eating more fruit and vegetables, with people able to earn points for completing these challenges which they can swap for rewards.
And, over a period of 20 weeks, participants will be able to collect points for each goal they complete which they can then exchange for rewards including discounts for cinema or theme park tickets, and clothes or food vouchers.
Major supermarkets including Sainsburys, Aldi, Morrisons, Tesco and Asda are participating in the scheme so users can earn money off their food shop.
Hundreds of other rewards are also on offer, including vouchers for retailers like Amazon and Argos, and passes to gyms and leisure centres across Wolverhampton including the council's WV Active leisure centres, PureGym, Places Leisure and Complexions.
To get started, download the free Better Health: Rewards from the AppStore or Google Play by this Friday (31 March, 2023). For more information, visit Better Health: Rewards.
