CSSC joins over 200 organisations, from across the UK’s Health and Fitness sector, in calling on all parties to commit to policies and actions that address the appalling and deteriorating state of health and fitness in the U.K. 2023 saw record levels of sickness absence and the NHS is at breaking point under the demands it faces. Govt, of whichever persuasion, needs cut the rhetoric and deliver resourced action. We need a population that is ‘Up, Out & Active’. Govt and Employers need to collaborate to encourage and assist our communities, our population, our children, our colleagues and ourselves to get active. It’s good for you….it’s good for your family….it’s good for the community…..it’s good for employers…it’s good for the economy & country. Please Share. ukactive #HealthandWellbeing #MyCSSC
Today’s call to the party leaders to make the UK the most active nation in Europe, forms part of the #TakeTheLead campaign that is led by the National Sectors Partners Group – ukactive, Sport and Recreation Alliance, Youth Sport Trust, CIMSPA, Active Partnerships, Sport for Development Coalition. The UK lags behind many of our European neighbours for physical activity levels and this campaign calls on our political leaders to realise the opportunity within our sector to help boost the economy, ease the burden on the NHS and keep the nation active and healthy.
