Help Children for Health with a set of health messages on physical activity

15 March, 2022

Hi there

Children for Health is in the process of preparing a set of 10 messages on Physical Activity.

We have been working on this topic with the University of Loughborough’s School of Sport and Health Sciences. Two Ph.D. students have helped collect

an evidence base and now we have the task of looking at these results and using this and other sources to create10 memorable messages for children

aged 10+ to learn and share.

If this is of interest or in your area of expertise, please join a review panel. Our process is usually 4-5 rounds and may include reviewing

the artwork.

Thanks!
