Get active this summer with the #WeActiveChallenge

Throughout August we’re asking all our communities, your families and friends to dust off your trainers, walking boots, or swimming gear, get active, and tweet pictures to share what you've been doing.

Your photos don’t have to be in Lycra, poised or perfect, this challenge is about having fun, being inspired and inspiring others. Check out some of our #AHPsActive and #NursesActive photos from last year for ideas.

This is also going to be an inter-community competition: the WeCommunity that tweets the most active photos over the month will be placed top of the leader board. 

How to get involved

1. Set yourself a goal or challenge for August – like taking the stairs, going for a lunch time walk each day, climbing your local peak, or trying out Park Run.
2. Get friends, family and your work colleagues involved as well.
3. Take some pictures (or even a vine or video) of your activity.
4. Share your pictures on twitter with your community hashtag (see below) – choose your allegiance carefully, this is a competition!
5. You can also sign-up for a WeCommunities medal - be quick, there are only 300 medals left and when they are gone, they are gone.

Choose your hashtag

These are the official campaign hashtags we'll using for the competition - choose one and use it in all your tweets for the challenge:

• #NursesActive
• #CommissionersActive
• #PharmacistsActive
• #DocsActive
• #AHPsActive
• #FinanceActive
• #CopsActive
• #MidwivesActive

Share your stories

We’re already starting to see lots of teams and organisations tweeting about what they are planning to do for the challenge. We’d love to hear more about this – so why not write a WeCommunities blog, or send us a tweet, message or email, to let us know what you’re planning.

Join us this summer for the #WeActiveChallenge – and look out for another WeActive announcement coming soon.

And incase you missed any of that here's a pocket sized infographic
