New Feature! Social Prescribing Walking Challenges

Join the East Lothian Walking Challenge with Go Jauntly

We’re very excited to launch the East Lothian Social Prescribing Walking Challenge—a 12-week step-based programme designed to help you move more, feel better, and explore your local area.

A Challenge for East Lothian Residents

Whether you’re new to walking or already active, this challenge is designed for all. You can set starting goals from 3,000 to 7,000 steps per day, enjoy local walks, track your progress, and earn badges—all through the Go Jauntly app. Every four weeks, the East Lothian walking challenge steps you up a level to get your step count up even more and helps promote walking and wellbeing. No GP referral needed, if you’re an East Lothian resident, just sign up and start walking!

Why Walk?

Walking is one of the easiest ways to boost energy, sleep, and mental well-being while reducing health risks linked to inactivity. This challenge is aligned with NHS Scotland guidelines to help you reach recommended daily activity levels.

Get Involved

We’re working directly with GPs in Dunbar and Prestonpans to support social prescribing, but you don’t need a GP referral to join in the walking challenge. Just download the Go Jauntly app for free, sign up to the challenge, and you can start your walking journey on the Monday of your choice.

Sign up to the challenge here.

This brand new tiered walking challenge was co-created with East Lothian Council’s Active Travel team and East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership and supported by Transport Scotland and SESTran.
