By walking, cycling or being active in other ways, you work on your own vitality and contribute to social initiatives in Nijmegen. Every form of exercise earns you fitcoins. At the end of the month, these are converted into a donation to four Nijmegen charities: Vincentius, Stichting Quiet, Huis van Compassie and Van Tuin Tot Bord.
How does it work?
All steps, bike rides and other physical activities are tracked in the Fitcoins app. The more active you are, the more Fitcoins you earn. You can also earn Fitcoins by participating in additional activities, such as webinars, water drinking challenges and other accessible challenges. Fun, accessibility and vitality are central to this.
Charities
With your contribution, you support organisations that are committed to helping people in Nijmegen who could use extra support:
- Huis van Compassie offers a welcoming place for people in vulnerable situations and is committed to combating poverty and social exclusion.
- Stichting Quiet alleviates silent poverty by supporting people living below the poverty line through a committed community.
- Vincentius helps people in need, including with food aid and support for social participation.
- Van Tuin Tot Bord brings people from the neighbourhood together by harvesting, cooking and eating together, thereby contributing to healthy and inclusive neighbourhoods.
