Wellbeing – ACC Step Count Challenge 2026

Walking is one of the best things we can do for our physical, social and mental health. It’s free, you don’t need special equipment, and it can be easily incorporated into the working day.

Could it be your team that wins?

Let’s move more at work!

We’re taking part in Walking Scotlands 6 week Step Count Challenge, starting on 18 May 2026 – will you join us?

The challenge is designed to help us walk more during our working day by logging our steps in teams of 5 and setting mini challenges and targets each week.   

This also presents an excellent opportunity to introduce a healthy level of competition into the workplace, which could contribute to enhancing workplace relationships.

The benefits of walking more during the working day are huge. Spending time outdoors can help to clear your head and boost your mood, helping you to feel more productive and focussed. The challenge is a great opportunity for us to get together and stay connected, having some fun along the way.
