The programme has been secured via a bid in autumn 2024 to the RBWM Public Health Fund

To allow for the RBWM Leisure team to work towards:

Increasing physical activity and civic engagement across the borough with particular focus within Healthy Streets, School Zones and lower IMD areas.

Use gamification to encourage an increase in activity particularly in individuals not meeting current CMO guidelines.

Encourage Active Travel use, to assist in meeting targets in the LCWIP.

Street Tag was chosen due to their fees fitting within the budget available, and their ability to deliver a programme that can be run over a year, giving a good value for money programme that can reach the most residents in the borough.

RBWM Leisure Team also discussed the project with "Eco Rewards" who were charging significantly more and moreover could only cover 2 parts of the borough; and "Beat the Street" who could not match Street Tag’s fees + can only run for 1 x 6 week “term” of community activity.

Do nothing option would mean the return of the public health fund and the project will not be delivered.

Programme has developed a working group (made up of internal RBWM departments and external local groups and residents) to ensure that it can share ways the project can overcome any associated risks which include

1. Ensuring players are safe when playing.
2. Supporting with mapping locations of the projects.
3. Can share communication and feedback with residents and local groups.
2. Communicating

Finance has been agreed via the bid made in Autumn 2023. This budget will be reported on alongside a project plan to public health and senior leadership each month and formally each quarter.

The programme will be run in multiple seasons (8 weeks at a time, with time to review each season), and will include monitoring information from Street Tag that includes user surveys. This will allow for the reviews to look at who is taking part and how to ensure more users / locations are regularly considered with regards to all being able to have a chance to play in RBWM.

Amongst the planning and feedback reasons for the Working Group to exist, spin off project opportunity and looking at funding at areas that it will help with.

The RBWM DPO has been informed of the project and signed off on a GDPR form regarding the project too.
