Summary
Private Groups are created by Moves+ users. Once you have joined or created a Private Group you can participate in a Private Group Goal. The user that created the Private Group can create goals for the Private Group to participate in.
Every member of the Private Group will then work collectively towards achieving the group's goal. I.e., their activity is combined towards a common goal.

What kind of Private Group Goals can I create?
There are a number of pre-created goals within the Moves+ app across the different activity types. You are welcome to use any of these pre-set goals or you can create your own. To create your own simply decide on an activity type and a distance you want to achieve then set yourselves the target and good luck reaching the finishing line!
Which activities will earn me progress towards the Goal?
Any relevant activities that you have received points for will help progress you towards your goal. To see the list of activities that we will convert to points, see here.
Do I receive bonus points for completing a Private Group Goal?
No. Competing a Private Group Goal will not provide you with additional points. However, you will receive points for the activity that you do. For example, if the goal is to cycle 100 miles, you will receive all points as expected for your bike rides as you progress towards the group's goal.
How do we contribute to the Private Group Goal together?
Any member of the private Group will automatically contribute towards the group goal each time they log an activity of that type. For example, if you are in a walking challenge with a target of 1 million steps, every time you or members of the group log steps, the progression towards the goal will increase. E.g. User 1 logs 10,000 steps on Day 1 and User 2 logs 5,000 steps on Day 1. The progression towards the goal will show 15,000 steps completed.
Can I join more than one goal at a time?
You can join goals of different activity types (e.g. 1 walking goal, 1 running goal, 1 cycling goal, 1 swimming goal). Some universities/institutions will allow you to sign up to multiple goals of the same type (e.g. 3 running goals). You can find out whether you can join more than one at a time when you login to the app.
