The Daily Mile Foundation

It's time for another 23/24 #TBT post! This week we are reminiscing The #DailyMile hitting the magical 5 MILLION children participating around the world! 🌍🌟A huge milestone that was made possible by the dedicated efforts of educators!

This summer, we're excited to revisit some standout #DailyMile moments of 2023/24! 🤩 👇 Today's #TBT goes to an inspiring day full of learnings, idea-sharing, and valuable feedback with our UK School Steering group. Thanks to Manchester United Foundation Manchester United for hosting us, and St George’s CE for inviting us to see your #DailyMile!

Earlier this year Keir Starmer launched the Labour Party’s ‘Child Health Action Plan’ pledging to ‘create the healthiest and happiest generation of children ever in Britain’ with a ‘preventative-first approach’ to this challenge’. Last week’s election victory for the Labour Party presents a fantastic opportunity for the new Prime Minister and his Government to deliver on that pledge. Our mission is to help schools create environments where regular physical activity becomes part of school life, and we look forward to working with the new Government and our sectors partners to achieve this 👇 https://lnkd.in/efsNxcWV

What an incredible day! We celebrated Catalan schools' involvement with The #DailyMile at the INEOS Britannia base in Barcelona. Thanks to all our amazing partners for making the day so enjoyable & highlighting the importance of physical activity for children 🏃♀️🧑🦽🚶♀️

Happy #GlobalRunningDay! The #DailyMile is all about getting children active with friends, running, wheeling, or walking at their own pace in the fresh air. Let's build a healthier future together! Join us and help every child get moving! 🏃♀️🧑🦽🚶♀️ https://lnkd.in/dnpCERS

We are asking all political parties to confront the public health challenge of rising inactivity levels by ensuring our schools are environments of daily movement where children are provided with positive experiences of physical activity that can help them become happy and healthy learners. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eZja27jq
