Your movement raised £520 for our charity partners

In September 2025, our Student Living and Physical Activity Department launched our Moves + movement incentive app, offering you rewards for building up points by walking, running, cycling and swimming.

In addition to receiving personal rewards, we gave you the chance to convert your points into funds for our four charity partners – Claire House Children’s Hospice, The Girls’ Network, Local Solutions and Micah Liverpool.

We’re delighted to announce that over the past seven months, enough points have been converted or left unspent that we are now able to donate £130 to each of our charity partners, that’s £520 in total.

Thanks to every single student and staff member who signed up to the app this academic year, and by moving your body, you have made a difference not only for yourself, but for our local communities supported by our charity partners.

More about the Moves + app

The Moves + app brings the ‘do what moves you’ philosophy to life inviting everyone at LJMU to connect, explore, and be active - even outside the Sport Building - whether you're moving alone or as a group.

You can gain points through connecting a fitness tracker to your app. Your points can then be redeemed for various rewards across campus such as a free coffee from LJMU’s Core Cafe. Or you can support our four charity partners by converting your points into donations to help those most in need across the city.
