An annual National Sports Day to grow participation in sport & physical activity
One day a year should be designated a National Sports Day (#sportsday). Saturday 27th August 2016 saw the #IAmTeamGB campaign hold free events around the country to encourage people to participate in sport and physical activity. This should become a government supported annual national event.
In December 2015 Tracey Crouch MP Minister for Sport, Tourism and Heritage launched 'Sporting Future: A New Strategy for an Active Nation', encouraging sport and physical activity as a national priority. Shortly after, Jennie Price Chief Executive, Sport England launched the new 2016-2021 strategy 'Sport England: Towards An Active Nation'.
We need an annual National Sports Day to bring these strategies to life and to capitalise on Team GB & Paralympics GB's potential to inspire the nation.
