Inclusive physical activity opportunities for children and young people in lockdown

Inclusive physical activity opportunities for children and young people in lockdown

It can be difficult to find out what is available for children and young people to help them stay active during lockdown. Being active is so important to a child’s mental and physical health – which is why we’ve compiled a short list of activities that you could access during this time.
