Did you know fewer than one in five children (ages 0-5) in the UK aren’t moving enough to stay healthy? Or that an inactive child’s brain does not develop as well as an active child’s brain? Or that in England, over 20% of children are overweight or obese by age five. Let’s change that. Help ensure every child gets the physical activity they need. We need your support to spread the word and encourage parents, carers, and educators to take proactive steps. 🙌 Support your child to be a Healthy Mover today. ❤️ youtube.com/watch?v=2HG29HGx… #HealthyMovers
