'Fundamentally we have to start with children. We have to make sure their relationship with Physical Activity is positive.' Our CEO @AliOliverYST on @BBCBreakfast discussing the new @DCMS Sports Strategy launching today. Keep an eye out for our full response later this am.

#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. ➡️ allianceofsport.org/news/get-well-…

Check out the new @ThisGirlCanUK hub for loads of resources about how we can all keep making progress here, together. ➡️ thisgirlcanwithyou.com

Timely discussion following the launch of the new phase of @ThisGirlCanUK last week too. At @Sport_England we will continue to support women and girls to be active, and work to close the gender gap. #ThisGirlCanWithYou #UnitingTheMovement

Great to bring MPs & Peers together with @Sport_England partners for our Reception yesterday. Huge thanks to @StuartAndrew, @kimleadbeater, @Jodie_cunny, & @BornBarikor for supporting the event, to all who attended, and the SE team who made it all happen. #UnitingTheMovement

Delighted to host the @sport_england reception in Parliament today. An opportunity to celebrate the incredible work they do to support our sport & physical activity sector & advocate for the power of sport to benefit our health & wellbeing & bring people & communities together👏🏻

Delighted to be in Parliament today with many of our partners as we celebrate the resilience of grassroots sport and physical activity, after a difficult few years. Look forward to talking to MPs & Peers about our work and you can follow the afternoon here. #UnitingTheMovement 🧵

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-camp…

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! #TeamUKYouth ➡️ justgiving.com/fundraising/be…
