Here at Go London we have been blown away by the range of great ideas that were submited and, after much deliberation, we have come up with the 5 final ideas we would like to help take to the next stage at the final event on 9th April at City Hall in London.
We’ve provided a little introduction to each of them below – click on the idea for the original entry, and please comment to provide each idea with some help on where they should focus their efforts!
Or even better, if you’re interested in coming along for the day and helping out any of the teams or want to see where they get to by the end of the day, sign up here now!
All the finalists strongly link with the ideas criteria, reflect the main themes that came out of our workshop and have the potential to move forward with support from the NHS.
The Go Game
The Go Game looks at how we can explore the City, have fun and get active at the same time, Inspired by treaure hunts, the Go Game uses a range of media to set ‘missions’ and get people out and about!
Splashpath
Splashpath addresses the issue that although swimming can make a real difference to all we may have trouble knowing exactly what’s going on and when. By capturing all the information about swimming in one place they look at innovative and creative new ways to get in the pool more often!
Amazing London
Amazing London looks at the ways in which we can make London more intriguing, making it more likely for us to get out and about. The idea is to create mazes across the capital that Londoners can help build and explore- and hopefully help us get that little bit more active as a result.
A work based community team event, inspired by the upcoming Olympic and Paralympics and a similar successful project in New Zealand. The idea is to challenge Londoners to take as many steps as possible a day (or set their own targets) and each week results of targets met are put up online, mapping who in London is really getting moving!
A motivational tool to help people to keep their commitment to getting active. The pop up will be a timed reminder that pops up on your work screen reminding you to take a break and get active.
