We’ve chosen to bid farewell to Twitter/X, as we feel the platform no longer aligns with our beliefs & values. Our profile will remain active but will no longer be updated, with this being our final post. Sorry it turned out this way...

New article from our colleague @robinHEG published in @ConversationUK on UEFA's decision to partner with BET365 as new sponsor of @ChampionsLeague - new sponsorship category for the competition will come at a high social cost: https://t.co/pjTuTKgEZs

😄👅👄💧🚰💦Year 3 at Great Harwood Primary School taking part in @gulpNOW project! Learning about the sugar content of drinks and which to avoid to help protect our teeth! @LancashireCC @healthystadia #GULPNow #GULP #ASFC

[Accrington Stanley Community Trust @ASFCcommunity]

Y3 at Hippings have been sugar detectives as part of their @gulpNOW @healthystadia @LancashireCC. They then used this knowledge to clean different mouths with their football skills. #GULP #ASFC

Energy drinks and junk food brands marketed at egamers https://t.co/bklwHKkvi1. New research @JohnLongPhD @spritsc2 @Javi1345 @NutritionCues. Sport organisers need to take a long hard look at themselves #PublicHealth @food_active @healthystadia @Lakenutrition @EmmaBoyland

[NWG Network @NatWorGroup]

📢 UPHELD!

Advertising watchdog @ASA rules Burger King breached codes designed to protect children from advertising for unhealthy food and drink as part of an email marketing campaign, including ‘buy-one-get-one-free’ on burgers @DPH_MAshton @robinHEG

Pleased that my letter on unhealthy sport sponsorship was carried by @ObserverUK. The complete text also mentioned gambling. We should question more where some of sport's funding comes from and the impact this has on public health @healthystadia @food_active @SHAAPAlcohol

[Food Active @food_active]

NEW evidence from @fuse_online @teesideuni @uniofnewcastle suggests that the effects of #energydrinks ⚡️ on children may be greater & more wide-ranging than previously understood - especially the negative impacts on mental health (+ to physical impacts) 👉https://t.co/t6j9JNHTUs

Blackburn Rovers record-breaker makes debut in logo-free shirt. Oh the contradictions implicit here. A youngster can’t wear the brand but it’s totally ok to promote it to all the young followers of the club on the front of all his fellow players’ shirts? https://t.co/E2NgAolxss

New qualitative study into unhealthy sports sponsorship in the Premier League: https://t.co/qAQrYkj80B. Thanks to fellow authors: @Chris_Bunn @DrStephChambers @GerdaReith and thanks also @UofGSPS @UofGSHW . “Well, you have to say … morality in football is not a high priority”.

Huge pleasure speaking @FB_Collective today with Blair Biggar. Blair’s concluding slide sums up nicely how gambling brands are promoted across professional football in the UK @GlaGamRes @healthystadia. The normalisation of gambling in our sport.
