We're challenging you to walk at least once a day for 21 days in a row and we promise you that if you complete the challenge, you'll have a walking habit to be proud of by 2021.

Aim to walk for at least 30 minutes each day. You don't have to do it all at once you can build up to 30 minutes or more by being active for at least 10 minutes in the early days. Just keep increasing the length of your walk and watch the minutes add up.

By using the free app you will keep a record of your walking every day. By tracking how long or how far you walked, you'll see proof of your improvements and receive tips and encouragements along the challenge! This is a great motivation to keep going!

Gaisce or ‘great achievement’ is a self-development programme for young people between the ages of 15-25 and has been in existence since 1985.

Gaisce at Home is their way of responding in a specific and unique way to the current crisis. It will ensure those already on their Gaisce journey can continue. It will encourage other young people to get involved in something positive for themselves and their community. It will provide a means of publicly recognising, not just the appetite and desire young people have to make a positive difference, but their action.
