NHS Walking Rewards: The 20-Minute Habit That Could Earn You Shopping Vouchers

Walking to the shops, taking a lunchtime stroll or leaving the car at home could soon earn more than health benefits. An NHS-backed campaign plans to reward people for completing the equivalent of a marathon every month.

Movement 26.2 is expected to launch in January 2027, combining digital tracking with points, discounts and potentially shopping vouchers. However, the reward values, participating retailers and final eligibility rules have not yet been confirmed.
