Health and Fitness

After years of concern from parents, teachers, youth workers, mental health professionals and organisations working directly with children, the UK Government has announced plans to ban under-16s from accessing major social media platforms.

Being healthy shouldn't feel complicated - but for many children, it does.

Here's how six simple healthy habits can help children build a healthy, happy mind and body - without the confusion.

Today’s teenagers have access to more information than ever before, but not all of it is accurate, helpful or positive. The Active, Healthy, Happy: Teen Edition activity book helps young people explore topics such as confidence, friendships, wellbeing, healthy habits and digital life through engaging activities, challenges and reflection. Designed to get teens off screens and talking about the things that matter most.

They need more spaces.

When time is short and budgets are nearly spent, councils tell us they want resources that are calm, meaningful and genuinely useful — not more noise.

This summer, thousands of children across the country got stuck into our Food Explorer Quest activity books — learning, laughing, and playing their way to healthier habits.

When we first gave out plantable pencils, they seemed like a fun little extra for children to take home. But what happened next surprised even us.
