The Chief Medical Officer guidelines state that young people should be undertaking an average of 60 active minutes every day, yet we're not even close to achieving this. We advocate the use of physical activity to positively impact physical health, mental wellbeing, personal and social development, including self-confidence, communication skills and resilience. In doing so, we inspire and empower young people to lead active lives now and for their futures. To help achieve this, we engage the systems and networks that surround young people, such as families, schools and other public services.
