A ground-breaking scheme which offers fun and fitness in return for volunteering is coming to Lancashire.
The scheme, run by Lancashire County Council in partnership with Spice Innovations, is called the Time Credits programme.
The programme works on a simple hour-for-hour basis - for every hour a person gives, they earn one printed Time Credit which can then be exchanged for an hour's activity.
These activities could include anything from time at local leisure centres to football match tickets. Activities are provided by 50 local partners and over 500 partners nationally.
A Time Credit pilot started in 2012 in Chorley and is now run independently by Chorley Council. The full scheme will be rolled out to the rest of the county over the next three years and will be introduced in Burnley, Pendle, West Lancashire and South Ribble this year.
Initially, Time Credits will be offered to young people in schools who volunteer to help other pupils improve their emotional wellbeing.
County Councillor Azhar Ali, cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: "It's brilliant that I can now announce this scheme being rolled out across Lancashire and that the first phase will be to introduce it in Pendle, Burnley, South Ribble and West Lancashire.
"The great thing about time credit schemes is that they attract people who have never volunteered before, or only occasionally or on a very small scale.
"They get a double benefit, because as well as gaining their time credits, research shows that their own wellbeing will improve as well as the people they're supporting.
"The other great thing about this scheme is that it will help us to build on the strong network of voluntary organisations whose work is so vital in helping us support communities.
"It's another way in which we can improve people's health, particularly in disadvantaged communities across our county."
By the end of 2014, more than 18,000 hours had been given by 1,100 people through the pilot scheme in Chorley.
An independent evaluation commissioned by Spice Innovations showed that 42% of people who volunteered in time credit schemes they had helped set up were either new to volunteering or had only given time occasionally in the past.
Becky Booth, CEO of Spice Innovations, said: "We are delighted to continue our strong partnership with Lancashire County Council building on the success in Chorley.
"This is an exciting opportunity to work with the council and local businesses to build programmes that support individuals to give time to their communities and then to spend their Time Credits with our fantastic spend partners improving health and wellbeing."
As well as the young people's mentoring programme, Time Credits will be offered for two other schemes over the next year.
