We are increasingly worried about what the future holds for women and girls in sport.

It’s been a turbulent few years, with a global pandemic, our young people’s mental health spiralling and misogyny on the rise around us.

As we head into the school Summer holidays, @PlayEngland has published an open letter to government regarding on the importance of play and some first steps for change.

Play England are calling for meaningful change as part of the government’s legislative programme set out in the King's Speech, through the introduction of play sufficiency legislation and a new national play strategy.

Delivering these first steps will depend on bringing together governmental departments (MHCLG, DfE, DCMS, DHSC, and DfT) with national agencies, stakeholders, and children (as we did in 2008) to ensure that the importance of play is recognised, valued, and protected across government and wider society.

Today’s call to the party leaders to make the UK the most active nation in Europe, forms part of the #TakeTheLead campaign that is led by the National Sectors Partners Group - @sportrectweets, @YouthSportTrust, @cimspa, @ActivePartners_, @SFDCoalition.

The UK lags behind many of our European neighbours for physical activity levels and this campaign calls on our political leaders to realise the opportunity within our sector to help boost the economy, ease the burden on the NHS and keep the nation active and healthy.
