An hour a day

An hour a day keeps the doctor away is a 5-year campaign that is organised by Play England to encourage and educate children and young people on how important it is to play. This campaign started when predictions and statistics came out to say that over 3 million children and young people will be overweight or obese by 2010. Since then, Play England have teamed up with many different organisations to help conquer these ‘predictions’ and have started to encourage children and young people to play at least an hour a day.
