'Fundamentally we have to start with children. We have to make sure their relationship with Physical Activity is positive.'

#ActiveLives Adult Survey Report 📣 Activity levels have bounced back to pre-pandemic levels
There are 1.5m more active adults than in 2015/16
Results are a testament to those working & volunteering in physical activity as well as the significant investment of @DCMS and @TNLUK money, that has helped the sector to recover.
This is the first survey since the pandemic to cover a year without covid restrictions.
It’s positive progress, but there's still work to be done.

Glad to join @AllianceOfSport, @NHSEngland et al for the launch of their #GetWellStayWell framework this morning.
The value of sport & physical activity as a tool for health promotion is immense, and one we will continue to champion as @Sport_England.

There is strong evidence that an active lifestyle is good for our mental wellness, and helps us lead a happy and healthy life.
We've compiled some tools and resources to help organisations support members with their mental health. #WorldMentalHealthDay sportengland.org/funds-and-c…
Tomorrow I’m running the #LondonMarathon2022 to raise money for @UKYouth.
It’s my first mara & is going to be an absolute slog, so any last donations (or words of encouragement if you’re watching) massively welcome & appreciated!
