Earn rewards for your active and sustainable travel
BetterPoints Sunderland is a rewards programme for ditching the car and making more active and sustainable travel choices. It is running from 1st March to 30th September 2022. During that time residents and commuters to Sunderland can download the free BetterPoints app, track sustainable and active journeys to earn BetterPoints, and BetterTickets to win prizes. BetterPoints can then be redeemed for a whole host of retail vouchers or donated to charities.
