Winners will shortly be invited to a celebration event to be presented with their prizes and trophies.

As part of the initiative, Salford residents’ steps will contribute to greening their local area, with hundreds of trees set to be planted with Greater Manchester charity City of Trees. Residents will also have the opportunity to become ‘Citizen Foresters’, volunteering to support tree planting and maintenance efforts across Salford.

Beat the Street Salford is a community initiative commissioned by the Bupa Foundation, with co-funding from Salford City Council, Canal & River Trust, and Sport England through National Lottery funding. The programme is delivered by Intelligent Health.

Anna Russell, Director of Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability and Bupa Foundation, said: “Congratulations to everyone who signed up to the Beat the Street Salford game and took the time to get more active. We hope you have been inspired to keep up those positive lifestyle changes in the long-term.”

Councillor Hannah Robinson-Smith, Lead Member for Culture, Heritage, Equalities, Sports & Leisure added: “Thank you to everyone who got involved and also all who have provided such positive feedback from people who have enjoyed getting to know the area on foot.”

Councillor Mishal Saeed, Executive Support Member for Social Care and Mental Health, added: “It’s been a fun six weeks and we will work together to ensure that people are able to keep up the great work with getting more active.”
