There were some big winners following the last SurreyMoves+ Giveaway in October. Here’s a look at who won the prizes and what some of them had to say!

• Molly Hodges (Big Gym Starter Pack): “I really enjoy using SurreyMoves+. It is a great way to gain that extra bit of motivation. I love getting a discount on my morning coffee or being able to enter a giveaway.”
• Amelia Stubbs (Big Gym Starter Pack): “I love the SurreyMoves+ app. There are so many rewards to choose from and I am super chuffed to have won in the October Giveaway.”
• Maddie Gray (£75 voucher): “I found out about SurreyMoves+ because my sister told me about the app as she used it at her Uni and said it’s an easy way to get discount on stuff. It really is an easy way to get a discount with a good chances to win prizes and a good way to encourage you to walk more”
• Callum Daniel (Speakers): “SurreyMoves+ gives an excuse to walk everywhere with actually achievable prizes.”
• Jack Bonnett (Speakers): “I walk everywhere at Uni anyway as it’s practical and good for fitness, so it’s nice to have a reward system for this as an added bonus and a bit of encouragement. I downloaded the app a few months ago and saw my points add up fast. There’s a lot of choice where to spend them and I chose the Giveaway on the off chance that this happened.”
• Malikai Dixon (Earbuds): “I started using SurreyMoves+ last year after a friend told me about it. It’s simple to set up and there are no strings attached. It’s nice to get chances to win prizes for just keeping active day to day. I’m always recommending it to people!”
• Francesca Culloty (Swim Starter Pack): “I have enjoyed using Surrey Moves throughout my years at university. It lets me keep track of my steps and encourage me to try new exercises. It’s a rewarding platform that I think everyone should consider taking advantage of.”

The annual Santa Moves Run took place on Sunday 4th December where students and staff dressed up in Santa suits to run a 2km course which started outside The Hideout and led them around Stag Hill Campus.

Upon finishing the Fun Run each of the Santa’s were rewarded with a free Hot Chocolate and Mince Pie (what a treat!). We were joined by some furry, four-legged friends as well as a decorated mini Christmas tree for the run!

Despite the icy cold weather, the day was a lot of fun. Keep an eye out for the Santa Run next where it’ll be bigger and better than ever.
