DDDC have collaborated with Jump to launch a sustainability engagement programme to encourage Derbyshire Dales residents to adopt greener habits. Developed with support from Midlands Net Zero Hub and funded by Innovate UK, Green Rewards incentivises sustainable behaviours by awarding points to residents who log their actions, with monthly prizes for the members that earn the most points. The online platform also contains a Green Home Guide e-learning tool; an interactive digital house where members can earn points for clicking through rooms to discover practical sustainability tips, such as insulation guidance and water-saving habits.

Know your numbers
Do you know your blood pressure numbers?
One in three adults in the UK have high blood pressure.
Derbyshire County Council is encouraging people aged over 40 to get a free blood pressure check during Know Your Numbers week 8th to 14th September.
High blood pressure rarely has any symptoms which is why it is called the ‘silent killer’. The only way to know you have the condition is to get your blood pressure measured. If you're over 40 you can get your blood pressure checked for free with an NHS Health Check at your GP, at most pharmacies and in some workplaces too.
Our Life Live Better Derbyshire healthy lifestyles team are also offering free blood pressure checks across the county. To find free blood pressure check-ups in your local area visit www.livelifebetterderbyshire.org.uk/bloodpressurechecks
