The past year has been challenging for everyone, not least for children and young people. In particular there have been limited opportunities to have fun, socialise, and to be active with friends.

The aim of this appeal is to raise funds to support three great organisations in providing opportunities for young people and their families to be happy, healthy, and active; with all funds raised split between Broxtowe Active Schools, MIND, and The Youth Sport Trust.

The portion of funds donated to Broxtowe Active Schools will be used to support young people into employment through our apprenticeship programme.

We hope that whether or not you're able to support financially, that you will be able to contribute in the form of positivity, and by promoting the cause on social media using the hashtags #unitingthemovement #broxtowechallenge and #active60.

For those of you requiring added incentive to donate, Steve our Network Manager will be undertaking several 'sponsored' activities, including 60 active minutes outdoors each day (indefinitely, with various formats), 2 x coast to coasts (walk and cycle), a 200 mile day cycle, visiting all 40 Broxtowe schools in one day, and other featured activities along the way. Updates will be posted via social media, and at www.wellfullness.org. The Broxtowe Active Schools team will be joining me on some of my adventures - and we'd love for schools and other organisations or individuals to get involved too, so look out for updates and ideas, and feel free to suggest your own too...

Please do give us a call if you'd like to support, or just want a chat 07476 762732.

Stay wellfull by being happy, healthy, and active.

Steve & The BAS team
