As we head into 2026, we’re teaming up with our tenant-led running and walking group, Step Forward, to launch our January Step Challenge!
The colder months can make it tempting to stay cosy indoors, but winter is the perfect time to build your fitness and stay active. So, wrap up warm and get in as many steps as possible throughout January for the chance to win the Walking Warrior title and an Amazon gift voucher.
Staying motivated is easier together so consider pairing up with someone for accountability, or join the Step Forward team on a Tuesday morning for a walk, light jog or run. It’s a great way to get moving, meet others, and boost your step count. For more information, email Janice from New Appointments Group j.noble@newappointmentsgroup.co.uk.
Please note that you will need to submit proof of your step count at the end of the month so make sure you’re able to track them.
