We are excited to announce the launch of the Beat the Street Challenge, which is a fun, free walking and cycling game and gets staff, pupils and their families out and about in the local area, having fun and keeping healthy.

The Bridgwater game was launched to the area on Wednesday 7th October 2020 and runs until Wednesday 4th November 2020 and you are invited to play!

Get healthy and have fun!- Developed by a team of physical health experts led by Dr William Bird MBE, a GP working on the NHS frontline against Covid, Beat the Street is the perfect way to get children moving after lockdown. Physical activity is proven to boost physical and mental health, and immunity, which helps the body resist bacteria and viruses including the Coronavirus. Why not take your child for a Beat the Street walk – and learn about the local area at the same time?

It is Covid Safe- Played outdoors in household groups, as individuals and in class bubbles, Beat the Street is the perfect way to exercise safely during the pandemic. Our contactless Beat Boxes mean that players can collect points without touching surfaces. Clear, upbeat messaging reminds players to maintain social distance and practice regular handwashing.

Win amazing prizes for your school-Beat the Street is a fantastic opportunity to bring together your school and get staff, pupils and their families involved – and there will be some amazing prizes! 1st Place school will win £150 Davies Sport voucher and 2nd place £75 Davies Sport voucher. Children and adults have the opportunity to win individual prizes, 150 £10 ‘Love2shop’ vouchers up for grabs as well. The individual prizes are randomly selected throughout the game.
