Nothing to add to this - Chris says it all !
Today's @Sport_England report reveals if we protect and invest in physical activity, particularly for people that face barriers to taking part, we'll all be healthier, wealthier, and happier.
#ActivePartnerships break down barriers and make it easier for everyone to be active.

Great interview - key comment from Huw was that the Active recreation should be integrated with @NHSuk - that's what will make the difference and unlock the opportunities both nationally and locally
Ahead of National Fitness Day tomorrow, ukactive CEO Huw Edwards joined Radio 4's Today programme to discuss how the Government can work with the sport and physical activity sector to drive health improvements and growth through communities across the UK. #FitnessDay
