Petition Details

Let children who go to school together and spend the best part of 6 hours indoors, play sport together for 1 hour during organised club sessions.

Additional Information

Children have suffered a lot of mental health issues during the last lockdown and now they’re being told they can’t play sport with the very same friends they’ve spent 6 hours in school with just because they have a different post code.
