#Lockdown has made many of us consider how we travel and our impact on the #environment – help parents and pupils arrive at #school safely by creating a #WalkingBubble ready for their return on March 8th. modeshiftstars.org/staysafeg… #StaySafeGetActive

With #schools closed and opportunities for playing with friends almost impossible, a great way to support your family this #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek is through #exercise. Even during a rainy week, wrap up warm and help children get some fresh air where possible. #ExpressYourself

We understand that not everyone is lucky enough to live within #walking distance of #school, but there’s always ‘park and stride’! By parking five minutes from the gates, your family can enjoy an active commute as part of our #WalkingBubble initiative. #StaySafeGetActive

Wondering how to keep your children active once the schools close? This is a fantastic solution! 🏫👍
Don't forget - #cycling is another great option to get your kids moving and out in the fresh air, as long as you follow the usual hygiene precautions: bit.ly/3a1dQLe

Many of us can - and should - still get out for a walk.
As long as you don't have #COVID19 symptoms and maintain a distance from others, it's a good way to keep your health and wellbeing in check.
💚 Stay healthy & happy, folks 🚶♀️👩🦼👨🦯🚶🏾♂️

After calls from academics & the cycling industry to maintain cycling & walking, it’s good to also see Sport England are on the same page. Exercise helps maintain a strong immune system so suddenly stopping is worse for you. Take precautions against injury & enjoy the fresh air👍🏻
