'Fundamentally we have to start with children. We have to make sure their relationship with Physical Activity is positive.'

Our CEO @AliOliverYST on @BBCBreakfast discussing the new @DCMS Sports Strategy launching today. Keep an eye out for our full response later this am.

#ActiveLives Adult Survey Report 📣 Activity levels have bounced back to pre-pandemic levels

There are 1.5m more active adults than in 2015/16

Results are a testament to those working & volunteering in physical activity as well as the significant investment of @DCMS and @TNLUK money, that has helped the sector to recover.

This is the first survey since the pandemic to cover a year without covid restrictions.

It’s positive progress, but there's still work to be done.

Glad to join @AllianceOfSport, @NHSEngland et al for the launch of their #GetWellStayWell framework this morning.

The value of sport & physical activity as a tool for health promotion is immense, and one we will continue to champion as @Sport_England.

Great to be back in Parliament with the @appgsport this evening.

Important conversation in a packed room on the power of women’s sport ahead of #IWD2023 tomorrow.

An amazing panel of speakers including young leaders from #GirlsActive and #FitForGirls

Timely discussion following the launch of the new phase of @ThisGirlCanUK last week too.

At @Sport_England we will continue to support women and girls to be active, and work to close the gender gap.

Delighted to host the @sport_england reception in Parliament today. An opportunity to celebrate the incredible work they do to support our sport & physical activity sector & advocate for the power of sport to benefit our health & wellbeing & bring people & communities together👏🏻

[Sport England @Sport_England]

Delighted to be in Parliament today with many of our partners as we celebrate the resilience of grassroots sport and physical activity, after a difficult few years. Look forward to talking to MPs & Peers about our work and you can follow the afternoon here. #UnitingTheMovement 🧵

There is strong evidence that an active lifestyle is good for our mental wellness, and helps us lead a happy and healthy life.

We've compiled some tools and resources to help organisations support members with their mental health. #WorldMentalHealthDay https://t.co/gJBS3JoaP0

Tomorrow I’m running the #LondonMarathon2022 to raise money for @UKYouth.

It’s my first mara & is going to be an absolute slog, so any last donations (or words of encouragement if you’re watching) massively welcome & appreciated!
