What is the Think, Move, Breathe! challenge?
Think, Move, Breathe! is a free-to-join rewards program designed to help you get active to improve the local air quality, earn rewards and support local traders and charities. It rewards sustainable travel for commuting and leisure trips and encourages regular, healthy activity for residents and employees in South Lanarkshire.
How has it been funded?
Think, Move, Breathe! is funded by South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) with money from Scottish Government that is allocated to improve air quality.
Why should I take part?
BetterPoints is an award-winning app that encourages people to get active by walking, running, wheeling, cycling and using public transport more, for commuting or leisure. Taking part will allow you to earn rewards for travelling in active and environmentally friendly ways. You can support local traders and charities with the BetterPoints you earn. The secure and anonymised data your participation provides will also help SLC to improve provision for active and sustainable transport, helping to make South Lanarkshire a cleaner, greener, more liveable area for everyone.

How can I earn points or win a prize?
You can earn points and win lots of fantastic prizes for travelling in green and healthy ways. Check out all the rewards here.
What is the difference between BetterTickets and BetterPoints?
BetterPoints can be earned by recording eligible activities - over time they add up. Your points balance appears in the menu on the left of the app. Once you’ve collected enough points you can redeem them for vouchers in the catalogue or donate them to charity. Every 1,000 BetterPoints are worth £1.
BetterTickets are prize draw entries earned for doing a specific activity. The tickets you earn automatically enter you into our daily, weekly or monthly prize draws. The more tickets you earn, the more chance you have of winning. Prizes can include pots of BetterPoints and specific things such as vouchers, bike lights or hi-viz sports wear.
What can I spend my points on?
You can give your points to your favourite charity by tapping Donate in the app, or check out our list of local and national vouchers by tapping Redeem.
Can I take part if I use a wheelchair, and if so, how do I record my journeys?
Yes! All kinds of wheelchairs can be recorded as 'wheeling' in our app. You download the app as per the instructions above. If you select automatic tracking, the app will automatically record your wheeling journeys. Due to the motion sensors inbuilt in your device, and our algorithms in the app, it may assume you are cycling, rather than wheeling. In your timeline, after completing your journey, you will be able to amend this to wheeling and your journey will be updated. You will be awarded the same amount of points/tickets as walking, running or cycling journeys.
