Get your community moving and convert active travel and exercise into prize points. Lambeth’s Public Health and Active Travel Teams are partnering with Street Tag to get families active in 2024.
Points for prizes
Street Tag is a free app-based system with collectable points for walking, cycling or scooting (but not driving) past virtual tags. You need only move within 40 metres with the app on in the background, no need to scan codes or ‘collect’ tags. There’ll be high value tags to discover in monthly events, too.
Every school in Lambeth is invited. School teams can include up to 250 parents, carers, children, staff and governors – and schools are allowed more than one team. Every point adds to your school’s leaderboard. Families and school staff can add to their school’s score by collecting extra points on the app and by encouraging other schools to sign up. Street Tag will support schools and parents with detailed monthly monitoring – total steps, tags collected, miles, number of players. Five top scoring schools each term (or “season”) win £50 to £500 prizes from Lambeth.
Word from the Cabinet
Cllr Ben Kind, Cabinet Member for Children & Families in Lambeth said: “Street Tag isn’t just about getting active – it’s about sparking a spirit of adventure! We want Lambeth to be the best place for children and young people to grow up, where they can thrive and be their best selves. This exciting competition not only promotes healthy habits among schools but also inspires families to explore Lambeth’s vibrant parks, green spaces, libraries, adventure playgrounds, sports facilities, and cultural trails. With Street Tag, each step becomes a rewarding journey towards better health and unforgettable experiences.”
