3. Read the Terms & Conditions of the program (at least the summary) which you can also find in this article, scroll to the bottom and click 'agree'.
4. You'll automatically be enrolled and can navigate the program's pages.
Please note the only obligation you have by signing up is to complete 1 activity within the first 3 months of signing up.
How it works
There are several advocacy activities to get involved in and depending on the activity, you can either register your interest for it, or complete it directly in the programme.
You can earn a different number of points depending on the activity you complete (see below the number of points per activity).
The Points you earn act as your digital currency, so the aim is to accrue Points through multiple activities and use them to redeem the rewards you like best, so the more you participate the easier it is to claim the best rewards.
