A new way to support us by moving more with BetterPoints

We’re excited to be part of BetterPoints, a free rewards app that encourages people to walk, wheel, cycle and use public transport while earning rewards and supporting good causes like ours.

Everyday journeys can earn points through the app. Those points can be turned into shopping vouchers or donated directly to charities. We’re proud to be one of the local charities people can choose to support.

That means something as simple as walking to the shops, cycling to work or taking the bus can help make a difference. You can also spend the points you earn on high street vouchers and across local businesses.

Funded by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority as a pilot, the BetterPoints app is free to download, and scheme is open to anyone who lives, works or studies in Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds or Wakefield.

BetterPoints is also available in other parts of the country. So even if you’re not based in West Yorkshire, you may still be able to earn points where you live and choose to donate them to us.

Getting started is easy.


Download the BetterPoints app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, sign up, and start recording your everyday journeys.

You will need to complete the baseline survey to start and then keep a look out for messaging in the first few days on how to use the app. It’s easy to use, so feel free to explore the app via the icons on the dashboard.

When you want to donate, simply tap the rewards icon at the bottom of the app (the gift icon), tap ‘Donate your BetterPoints’ and search for us in the list of charities.

It’s a simple way to support our work while building healthier, more sustainable habits and every journey really does count.

If you have any questions or issues after downloading the app, then you can use the in-app customer care to get help.
