There is no mention of the vouchers on the 'Change4life' website.

Beeb article quotes:

"Four million £50 voucher books will be on offer through the News of the World and Asda stores.
One million will be available through local businesses which have signed up to Change 4 Life, the government's health-promoting initiative".

No - can't see anything at all on the website about vouchers.

The swapathon link IS now on their website but when you click it you get a server application message!! Alas we'll have to stick to buying our full fat artery clogging foods!

The swapathon site was working just fine earlier this morning, but, as I said then, there was nothing on it about any vouchers.

Not available to anyone who lives in Wales, Scotland or Ireland though.

The site is active but with the 'get started' and 'join' links still broken, as at 6pm Sunday night.

"According to a statement by the Fitness Industry Association, the scheme, which launches in January, will distribute 5 million “voucher chequebooks” containing 20 healthy lifestyle vouchers, including vouchers for reduced-price swimming and gym sessions, to the public.

Three million will be distributed through Asda, 1 million through the News of the World, and the rest through GP surgeries, schools and local community services, the FIA says."

So if I dont shop at Asda, read News of the World, or claim every benefit going, I can probably assume I am unlikely to qualify !
