Active 8
New people going to a Healthy Lifestyles Team
session will now receive a special stamp for
each attendance. Five stamps create a £10
voucher which can be used in any Lincolnshire
Co-op foodstore.
The scheme is funded by £10,000 donated by
Lincolnshire Co-op pharmacies and foodstores.
Healthy Lifestyles Team Leader at the City of
Lincoln Council, Joanna Blackwell said: “It’s
the early stages of developing a healthy habit
that we all find challenging, whether it’s
giving up smoking, losing weight or getting
active. The Healthy Habit vouchers will give
that extra incentive to keep on track.”
Healthy habits could earn rewards
Want to get active but don’t want to
become a gym-bunny? Or, are you worried
about getting your kids off the games
console and up-and-about?
Sessions from the City of Lincoln Council’s
Health Lifestyles Team could be the answer.
The team offer something for everyone; from
led group walks in and around Lincoln to
a programme called activ8 for kids and
parents alike.
Lincolnshire Co-op’s Head of Pharmacy Alastair
Farquhar added: “Although the main part of
our business is dispensing prescriptions,
as a co-op we’d much rather help people
avoid the need for medication.
The Healthy Habit voucher scheme is one
of the ways in which we’re aiming to do
just that.”

Keeping motivated can also be an issue
and the City Council has teamed up with
Lincolnshire Co-operative to make healthy
habits even more appealing.
