Mark Sesnan, managing director at Better said: “As soon as we heard about the campaign to incentivise young people to get vaccinated, we wanted to get involved. We know the value of regular exercise on our mental and physical health and this has been further highlighted during the pandemic.

“We also know that having all adults double vaccinated plays a crucial role in our battle against Covid-19, so we wanted to help.

“We hope that by offering free passes and discount vouchers to our 235 gyms, leisure and sports centres across the UK, we will encourage many more young people to take up their vaccine.”
