Ultrasis announce three-year contract for Step Success.

Ultrasis is pleased to announce a three-year contract with Hertsmere Borough Council (HBC) to deliver a wellness platform and community health programme through the Step Success portal.

Hertsmere Borough Council has been awarded 'Community Sports Activation' funding from Sport England to deliver a community health programme for women and girls aged 14 to 25 in the Hertsmere area. A number of partners across Hertsmere are coming together to help deliver the programme including, Hertsmere Borough Council, Hertsmere Leisure, Arsenal Ladies, Children's Centers and Ultrasis, who will be creating the platform that the programme will be delivered through.

The initial contract with Ultrasis has a value of approximately GBP42,000 over a three year period. The council will fund the contract through the Sport England grant, with the opportunity for this to be increased over the contract term. It is intended that the scheme will promote, 'the pebble' (an activity tracking device) to local residents for them to purchase it directly from the Step Success portal.

"Hertsmere Borough Council, like all Local Authorities have the duty to work in partnership with the County Council to provide good Public Health and Wellbeing services to their communities and we see this as an innovative and forward thinking way to engage people in ways to measure their activity as a way of promoting exercise and wellness." says Ultrasis chief Executive John Smith.

He added "Hertsmere has seen the potential of Step Success as a way of promoting both engagement and behaviour change and should be applauded for their forward thinking approaches. We expect that other Local Authorities will look at what they are doing and consider how Step Success could help them deliver on this very important agenda."

Cllr Brenda Batten, Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Culture and Health, said: "This is a fabulous opportunity for young women and girls to get into sport and fitness. The council has worked hard to secure the funding from Sport England to put on a variety of activities and working with Ultrasis adds a different dynamic to the programme which will hopefully help keep participants motivated."
