All about CHEER

CHEER has been developed to bring together our hospital, our people and our environment through an interactive programme for all employees at GOSH.

The Sustainable Development Management Plan at GOSH includes 10 objectives and CHEER will help us to all play our part in reducing our carbon footprint. Find out more about the actions GOSH is taking to improve sustainability and wellbeing for all by reading the Clean Air Hospital Framework.

By taking part in activities through CHEER you will be rewarded for taking behaviours that improve individual and hospital-wide sustainability and wellbeing. The drawings you can see across the platform have been designed by children of GOSH, putting our people at the centre of our sustainable development strategy.

You'll compete as part of a team to earn Green Points for your actions (your team is based on your birth month!). There are a whole range of actions that you can earn points for under different themes:

• Get Involved
• Air Quality
• Travel
• Recycling
• Carbon Footprint
• Sustainable Purchasing
• Health and Wellbeing

Each activity has a full description of what you'll need to do to earn Green Points - some will require a submission that you can make through the website, whilst others will invite you to report your actions on a weekly basis. You will receive a monthly newsletter which announces our most recent voucher winners and new activities to get involved with as well as sharing information about campaigns, successes and sustainability at GOSH.

There are plenty of prizes available for individuals taking part in CHEER, as well as a top prize for the winning team. You'll get the chance to win:

• 3 x £10 vouchers each month for the top points earners
• 2 x £10 raffle prizes each month for anyone taking part
• A share of £250 for the top two teams to donate to a charity of their choice

You'll be able to see how you and your team are performing on the leader boards on the homepage.
