Too many children and young people, specifically those living in poverty, do not get access to the required hours of physical activity essential to a healthy childhood.

With reduction in funding, time in education and lack of free provision in communities amplified by the cost-of-living crisis, this situation is exacerbated, leaving many children in situations of physical and mental ill health.

Today, you are part of the first generation in many generations where your own children here in South Yorkshire will have a shorter life expectancy than yourselves. For those living in poverty, the gap is on average closer to 10 years in comparison to the life expectancy of their more affluent peers.

As a charity, Active Fusion use the power of sport and physical activity to lobby for change and equity for all children to be active. Our charity first mission sets out a promise to address this tsunami of inequality, with The Fusion Movement Campaign fully focused on doing exactly that.

Heres how some of our children would use the gift of 10 More Years...

Our latest appeal, 10 More Years, a 10-week campaign to raise awareness and funding to help deliver on our charity promise to children.

Active Fusions target is to raise £10,000 in 10 weeks, reaching 10,000 views of the 10 More Years campaign film to raise awareness of the issues faced by our most vulnerable children and young people.

From 21 April 2023 to 30 June 2023, you can support Active Fusion by Liking the film, Sharing the campaign ask, Supporting a fundraiser and/or Donating to our appeal.

Essentially, we are asking for your collective support in making as much noise about this as we can. Can you take on one of our 10 More Years Challenges?

The challenge can be anything you like as long as it has the number 10 in it! All you need to do is dream up an activity, donate or fundraise with us, and smash your challenge, starting as soon as you like. You have 10 weeks to get involved.

Could you:

- Pledge to walk up and down the stairs take the stairs at work 10 times a day for the whole 10 weeks. Thats a lot of stairs if you are at based at Doncaster College!

- Pledge to do 10K or 60 minutes exercise run, walk or wheel 10K for 10 days or more in the gym, during lunchtime with colleagues or at home in your community.

- Take the 100 Fusion Fit Challenge do 100 squats, burpees or sit ups a day (or an exercise rep of your choice) for 10 days or more and get toned in 10 whilst raising awareness of the 10 More Years campaign.

Or you can simply donate £10 to the campaign and share the film and invite 10 of your friends, colleagues and family members to do the same?
