Encouraging an active lifestyle is paramount to the mental and physical wellbeing of children. As such, it was a pleasure to join the Ferrero team at Cannon Lane Primary School this morning to see their Joy of Moving programme in action.
The Joy of Moving is part of Ferrero’s corporate responsibility programme, which promotes an active lifestyle and inspires a lifelong positive approach to moving. We know that school closures and closures of sporting and leisure facilities over the pandemic had a detrimental impact on the activeness of children and young people, which is why programmes such as this are more important than ever.
Visiting Cannon Lane Primary School and watching Watford FC Community Sports & Education Trust, one of the charity’s club partners, deliver a joy of moving festival to students in my constituency was inspiring. It was fantastic to see how much fun the children were having whilst learning how to lead an active lifestyle through Ferrero’s corporate responsibility programme.
