Active Staff Walking Challenge March 2022

The Active Staff Programme was set up to protect and promote health in the workplace by providing a range of free opportunities for all NHSGGC staff to engage in Physical Activity.

We want equitable access by all staff groups regardless of their fitness level, shift pattern or protected characteristics

Engaging in physical activity not only supports good physical health but also good mental health.

Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier. Being outdoors can help guard against key health issues such as depression and heart disease. It can also be fun. It can connect people to nature and to each other.

The Walking Challenge was promoted to staff across NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and the Local Health and Social care Partnerships.  The challenge was promoted to staff through the Core Brief two weeks in advance of the start date of 28^th February and encouraged staff to register and form teams of up to five people.
