There are so many changes we can make in our daily lives to support young people to move more for their physical and mental health, but to create longlisting widespread change, we need to create momentum. With this in mind, it's never been more important to have your voice heard and ensuring that your local MP is aware of these issues is key. To get involved with this, please like, comment on and share our content while tagging your MP to highlight the importance of movement for young people in early year settings. Visit our website today to make real change and join us on our mission to get all young people moving. youthsporttrust.org/healthym… #HealthyMovers

The Government was right to identify school readiness as an urgent priority in today's PM's speech. We are encouraged by their commitment to raise the number of children who are ready to start school from 67% to 75%. Physical activity, and the role it plays in cognitive, social, emotional and physical development must be central to delivering this ambition. On World Children’s Day our National School Sport Champion @Mo_Farah brought together a series of leading British Olympians and Paralympians to call on the Government to increase physical activity levels in early years, by ensuring early years providers are able to support physical development so all children are healthy movers before starting school. youthsporttrust.org/healthym… #PlanforChange #PMSpeech @Keir_Starmer

I enjoyed chatting to @nourishworkplce about allotment life, planting garlic and my granddad's banana skin gardening hack. Intrigued? 👇
If you struggle to switch off from work, getting a hobby that really fills you with joy will help pull you away. In this episode, I talk to @andrew_cowley23 about his love of gardening & some tips on how to get started. buzzsprout.com/2181499/episo… Or on Apple, Amazon & Spotify.

Loved talking to the retired folk at Stevenage who are helping the Covid babies recover - silent, tearful, not sharing. How the ‘grandfriends’ are helping the children held back by Covid was so heartwarming to see ⁦@TeachingAwards⁩ @thetimes thetimes.com/article/5202582…

“All we’ve gotta do is figure out how to remove those hurdles.” - @LewisHamilton 🚨 Yesterday, we launched Nothing Happens in Isolation - a national campaign to #preventexclusions and support at-risk students, teachers and schools: preventingexclusions.com/ To discuss the campaign, our Founder, Lewis Hamilton sat down with Jade, a young campaigner with experience of school exclusion, and Jaiden, Mission 44 Youth Advisory Board member. In this first clip, Lewis talks with Jade and Jaiden about his own experiences of school exclusion, why it’s such a complex issue, and what we all need to do to build a more inclusive education system ✨
