As the UK marks National Fitness Day, how can physical inactivity be tackled?

“There is lots within Get Active to be welcomed, it has the right intentions," “But crucially this strategy does not contain any new investment, or details on how there will be more joined-up government working." @danroan @BBCSport @LondonSport

Big Ben looking glorious today as I was in Parliament to speak to @vickyfoxcroft on @LondonSport work in Lewisham and the need to do more to support disabled people participate in grassroots sport.

[Nick Bowes @nickbowes1975]

I really hope Jordan doesn’t do this. He’s been such a powerful and staunch LGBTQ+ ally

[Emily Robinson @EmilyRobinsonLS]

It was great to welcome @maxwhitlock1 from @TeamGB to meet pupils from @ColvillePS to raise awareness of physical activity within London. Great work by @AldiUK with food vouchers providing healthy snacks as part of @LondonSport Opening Schools Facilities programme.

[Swim England @Swim_England]

A multi-million pound fund to help local authorities keep afloat pools which struggled with energy bills has been launched.

@Sport_England will manage this on behalf of government. It's part of the investment for facilities with pools announced in the #SpringBudget

It was great to have Minister for London @scullyp at the @LondonSport awards to help celebrate grassroots sport and activity

[Peston @itvpeston]

“They're learning to get off their phones… they're learning discipline… respect… manners”

Boxing promoter @EddieHearn tells @Peston how sport can help tackle anti-social behaviour, and explains why he sends his daughters to a local boxing club

[Emily Robinson @EmilyRobinsonLS]

What a fantastic night at the #londonsportawards2023 so many inspiring winners of the @LondonSport awards. And a real highlight was this performance from @Step_Change

[Emily Robinson @EmilyRobinsonLS]

This is good news and many in the sector have been lobbying for help for pools. Thanks for listening @DCMS @StuartAndrew

[HM Treasury @hmtreasury]

We're providing £63 million to support public leisure centres with swimming pools.

£40m will go towards making pools more energy efficient in the long term, with £20m to help leisure centres deal with rising costs.

[Emily Robinson @EmilyRobinsonLS]

It was great to meet you @caitlinmoran last week. At @LondonSport we’ve been raising the needs of local gyms with @StuartAndrew @DCMS and used the very example of YMCA in that @petepaphides writes about.

[Catherine West @CatherineWest1]

Thank you @petepaphides for writing so beautifully about why places like #CrouchEndFitness are so important 👇🏻

[Emily Robinson @EmilyRobinsonLS]

@willnorman @TfL Could you get a tennis court on there @willnorman ? 😉

[Emily Robinson @EmilyRobinsonLS]

Please buy a ticket if you can! Great prizes for £10 and you can help us get Londoners active

[Emily Robinson @EmilyRobinsonLS]

Hear hear!

[Community Leisure UK @CommLeisureUK]

Today’s #BigSwimDay is about having fun and sharing your passion for the pool. But there’s also a serious message. Half of UK community swimming pools face closure or cuts amid crippling energy costs within SIX months. Full story >> https://t.co/Se9NaHSXpp

[Simon Hogg @CllrSimonHogg]

Delighted to reveal our plans for free swim and gym for people on Universal Credit & families receiving free school meals.

Part of Wandsworth Labour’s work to make the borough fairer - and help residents through the Cost of Living crisis

[Emily Robinson @EmilyRobinsonLS]

We’re concerned that we could lose vital assets like public pools due to sky high energy costs

[BBC Radio London @BBCRadioLondon]

🏊‍♀️A leading swimming pool operator says some London pools could close unless government reverses its decision to exclude them from the Energy Bills Discount Scheme.

Government says it’s spent £18bn on support but reviewed it due to “unsustainable costs”.
