A colourful infographic by Sport England depicts the positive association between activity levels and mental wellbeing for ages 7-16. The graphic shows a silhouette with a gauge indicating mental wellbeing, divided into three categories: Active (7.1), Fairly active (6.9), and Less active (6.7). The source is "Active Lives Children and Young People Academic Year 2024-25."

Chart depicting happiness scores drop for boys and girls ages 7-11. Boys' scores decreased from 7.8 to 7.6, while girls' scores fell from 7.9 to 7.4. Illustration shows one child playing tennis and another riding a scooter. "Sport England" logo at the bottom.

The 2024-25 Active Lives Survey shows a clear link between being active and feeling happier.

But it also highlights lower happiness in less active kids aged 7–11, especially for girls.

Let’s keep #UnitingTheMovement to ensure every young person can enjoy the benefits of sport and activity. 🏃‍♀️

Next week I'll be starting 3 months of Shared Parental Leave so will be posting a lot less than normal (probably not at all).

In the meantime, please give @gmmoving.co.uk, @hayleylever.bsky.social, and the rest of this #UnitingTheMovement Starter Pack a follow.

To meet the ambitions of #UnitingTheMovement, we’ve continued to expand our reach into local communities to help more people to be physically active by breaking down barriers.

The fifth year of #UnitingTheMovement saw an increase of activity levels.

Under our new chief executive Simon Hayes, we’re preparing to set out our renewed approach for the remainder of the Uniting the Movement strategy and re-establish our role in driving long-term change.

Houses of Parliament viewed from across the River Thames.

The changes risk creating greater barriers for disabled people to access the physical and mental health benefits of an active lifestyle and undermining progress made by @sport-england-se.bsky.social's #UnitingtheMovement strategy in tackling inactivity and among disabled people.
