Yesterday was a huge day for the Youth Sport Trust as we launched our manifesto in parliament and shared the news that four-time Olympic and six-time World Champion, @Mo_Farah, will be joining us as our new Youth Sport Trust National School Sport Champion!🏆 To deliver for children and young people, we are calling for a new, long-term joined-up national plan guaranteeing every child access to the UK’s Chief Medical Officers’ guidance of 60 active minutes a day of moderate to vigorous physical activity by creating a nation of active and well schools. This plan should: 1) Resource a dedicated coordination and delivery team working across a family of schools in every community 2) Introduce a new national wellbeing measurement for children, to track progress and target interventions 3) Protect and increase spaces for play and physical activity in every locality, and provide co-curricular sport for all children 4) Reimagine Physical Education, making it a core subject developing physically literate children, healthy learners and active citizens 5) Formalise existing youth sport leadership opportunities into a national young sport volunteers programme delivering year-round social action Will you support us in our mission? #PhysicalEducation #Manifesto #MosMission #YSTManifesto2024 @AliOliverYST

By now we're sure you've seen that @Mo_Farah, is joining us as our new Youth Sport Trust National School Sport Champion!🏆 When asked about Mo's mission and his goal as National School Sport Champion, this is what Mo had to say 👇 "In my new role as National School Sport Champion, it is my mission to get as many young people moving on a daily basis as possible. The power of sport helped me find my passion as a young person, so I’m firmly encouraging kids across the UK to get involved in ‘60 minutes a day - of PE, Sport and Play.” #MosMission #PE #PhysicalActivity #YSTManifesto

Great to accompany @Mo_Farah to meet @Keir_Starmer to talk about why we need to empower children to be physically active for their health and happiness. #MosMission #YSTManifesto2024

New research by the @YouthSportTrust demonstrates the potential devastating impact of #SchoolSport funding delays. We urge government to immediately confirm that this essential funding will continue beyond the school year. #AtWhatCost?

Fewer than half of primary schools say they could keep children active if school sport funding is cut. #AtWhatCost? Find out more youthsporttrust.org/news-ins…
