An NHS-backed incentive scheme will launch in January to encourage people to be more active by rewarding them for walking. Multiple outlets report that the program offers vouchers to participants who complete a daily 20-minute walk. The scheme is presented as an effort to get the public moving again and improve levels of activity. It is led by Sir Brendan Foster, an Olympic medallist, and Sir Keith Mills, an Air Miles inventor. The coverage indicates the initiative is designed as a structured reward for consistent, moderate exercise, focusing specifically on a 20-minute daily walking target. Beyond the core details of timing and the walk-based voucher incentive, the reports do not outline additional eligibility criteria, the value of the vouchers, or how participation and verification will work. Overall, the sources agree that the program is set to begin in January and that its central mechanism is vouchers tied to a daily walking routine under NHS involvement, with Foster and Mills named as the scheme’s leaders.
