We’ve been busy in Westminster this week, speaking to MPs ahead of National Fitness Day.
It was great to see so many showing their support for the campaign to get the nation moving more.
We look forward to seeing everyone at their gyms, pools and leisure centres next Wednesday!

Today, @_ukactive launched their "The Next Generation" strategy.
I welcome this contribution from @_ukactive which provides a clear direction for the sector to create opportunities for children and young people to enjoy the benefits of physical activity👇
🚀 Today, ukactive has launched "The Next Generation" strategy aiming to get one million more children active by 2030!
This new strategy will strengthen the physical activity sector’s existing offer for children and young people by:
• Driving consumer insights,
• Evolving industry standards and
• Refreshing guidance for supporting services and programmes.
📊 Insights from 1,000+ kids (via @BeanoBrain) have shown children’s motivations for being active with kids enjoying physical activity more when:
🙋♂️ They do it with friends/people they know – 63%
🤗 When the coach or teacher is friendly/supportive – 46%
🤩 When it’s not too serious – 43%
🗣️ Sports Minister Stephanie Peacock has supported the strategy, saying: “We all have a role to play in getting the nation moving, so I welcome this contribution from ukactive which provides a clear direction for the sector to create opportunities for children and young people to enjoy the benefits of physical activity.”

Positive to hear @Keir_Starmer reference the importance of health facilities as part of his Party’s plans for housing and regeneration in last night’s Leadership Debate. Hugely important that community wellbeing is integrated into these ambitions #ITVDebate
