Being physically active is great for our mental wellbeing, & children are 3-5 times more active during a play street than they would be on a 'normal' day after school! #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2024 #MoveMoreForMentalHealth playingout.net/wp-content/up…

"Obesity rates increased by 45% in four-to-five-year-olds and by 21% in 10-to-11-year-olds during the first year of lockdowns". This could have been prevented, had children's needs been considered/prioritised by Govt. The impact will be lifelong. theguardian.com/society/2024…

The @luhc Inquiry into Children, Young People and the Built Environment is a huge opportunity to effect positive change. @drwilliambird's evidence showed that not giving children opportunities to play out has terrible consequences for their health, now and in the future:

Children who have least suffer the most from the loss of everyday freedom and doorstep play, so I’m going to Parliament tomorrow to make the case for creating a more child-friendly built environment. Hope they hear it! @playingout theguardian.com/society/2024…

We recently asked #PlayStreet organisers to complete our biennial survey, and we are loving reading the responses! Hearing from people who are creating change where they live is so inspiring🥰playing out changes the culture of streets, making them friendlier places to live❤️
ALT A yellow text box with a quote from a play street organiser explaining what they love about playing out where they live - "Seeing neighbours across four generations mixing; adults joining in with games; new neighbours being welcomed; children starting school already knowing some of the older children in the playground."

For children to lead #ActiveLives they need the time, space and opportunity to #PlayOut where they live! Research into #PlayStreets shows that regular, safe access to the public space on their doorsteps increases children's levels of #PhysicalActivity, health and wellbeing.
Our latest #ActiveLives Children and Young People Survey has been published 📣
Overall activity levels are stable as the initial recovery from the pandemic was maintained across the 2022-23 academic year, but significant challenges remain.
