CSPs Support Expansion of The Daily Mile

Posted on 7th January 2019

  • Network News

Sport England  have recently announced they have committed £1.5 million of National Lottery funding which will enable a number of CSPs to support the expansion of  The Daily Mile™, the ground-breaking fitness initiative that aims to get children fit for life.

 Earlier this month Sport England published their first Active Lives Children and Young People report, which showed that more than 2.3 million children do fewer than 30 minutes of physical activity a day.

 This new partnership with The Daily Mile will fund the recruitment of national and local coordinators based in CSPs to support and encourage more schools in England to sign up – with a vision of helping all 20,000 primary schools in the country to take part in an active mile a day.

Lee Mason, Chief Executive of the CSP Network says

 we are delighted to be supporting Sport England and the Daily Mile Foundation with this fantastic initiative with 10 CSPs hosting the daily mile coordinators and helping support schools to make it a regular feature of school life and improve the health of thousands of young people 

 Founded by former headteacher Elaine Wyllie in 2012, The Daily Mile currently helps more than 3,500 English schools reach their daily activity target.

The concept is simple, with classes heading outside to jog or run around the school grounds every day, rain or shine, at whatever pace suits the child best. Through getting schoolchildren to walk or run for 15 minutes every day, The Daily Mile has been proven to significantly improve fitness levels
