The 2024 Paris Olympics is here! 🙌
As we look ahead to a thrilling month of sport, we also want to support the work being done to help get the next generation moving.
Currently over half of children in the UK do not reach the Chief Medical Officer’s guideline of one hour of physical activity per day.
That’s why we are delighted to support a new collaboration between @juniorparkrunUK and Team GB highlighting the importance of getting children to be active for at least 60 minutes each day.

The 2024 Paris Olympics kicks off today 🙌

“Three out of four children feel happy at junior parkrun!”

We're proud to have supported the first Health and Wellbeing Survey for junior parkrun, led by Dr. Helen Quirk. Featuring insights from more than 1,800 families, this survey highlights the immense value, potential and impact of junior parkrun.

Our funding partnership with @parkrunUK has enabled the expansion and enhancement of junior parkrun events across the UK. We have invested £1.19 million, over three years, to support at least 300,000 children to be active.

Imagine starting your Sunday with a positivity and pride. For over 20,000 young people, this is the core of junior parkrun 🥰

64% of disabled teenage girls don't engage in sport or exercise regularly.

In partnership with @FoundationBetty, @Womeninsport_uk and @NuffieldHealth, our new research reveals the untold struggles of disabled teenage girls in accessing sport.

Here’s how we change this ⬇️

[Access Sport @AccessSport]

Last night we launched our Breaking Barriers research at @NuffieldHealth's Barbican Support Centre.

By joining forces with our key partners and wider sectors, we are positive that we can enact tangible change for all teenage girls.
