Although Christmas this year may be different than before, it's important to enjoy the season responsibly. One way is to support businesses that do good for the community, such as social enterprises who are giving back: blog.bham.ac.uk/business-sch… #ResponsibleChristmas

As @Marc__Woods says in this clip, support for the community leisure sector - the gyms, pools, sports halls up & down the country - is "an investment in the nation's health for the next generation". @cimspa role here critical in supporting the workforce that makes it happen.
“In community leisure there are 579,000 people employed...If we don’t get some support very quickly we could see half lose their jobs by Christmas.”
Chair of @cimspa @Marc__Woods tells @OllyFoster it’s “a critical time for sport and physical activity.” #Sportsday @BBCNews Channel

We're working with government & the sector to get grassroots and community sport back up and running when it's safe to do so. Great to hear @OliverDowden stress the benefits that physical activity brings to physical and mental health.
