There is a crisis in young people's wellbeing, with rising numbers reporting symptoms of anxiety and depression, alongside a decline in levels of physical activity.

- One in four year six pupils are obese. 2.4 million young people are active for less than 30 minutes per day

- 53% of young people believe their social wellbeing has suffered since the Covid pandemic

- 83% of UK parents believe children are spending too much time online and not enough time with each other

- Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to access and understand the benefits of sport and play

I am fundraising to support the vital work being delivered to help to reclaim play and sport in children's lives. Together we can build a brighter future where every child enjoys the life-changing benefits of play and sport.

Youth Sport Trust empower young people and equip educators to transform lives through sport and play to improve physical and mental wellbeing.
