I believe The Daily Mile will have a huge impact on young people's lives, helping children across the UK to be fitter, healthier and happier. I'm delighted to be supporting The Daily Mile, and hope that every child has the opportunity to take part in this fantastic initiative.
Colin Jackson, Olympic 110m hurdles Medallist -
INEOS has been supporting The Daily Mile for the last three years. We know how important it is to encourage children to get fit and healthy and look after themselves, not just for today but for the years to come.
Jim Ratcliffe, Founder and Chairman of INEOS -
The Daily Mile has already proved a great success for the schools that are taking part with a hugely positive impact on children’s health and wellbeing. ITV wants to use the power of TV and the reach of our programming to change attitudes and behaviours towards living more healthily. We are aiming to get the whole country engaged with this initiative and every UK primary school taking part.
Carolyn McCall, Chief Executive of ITV -
It's such a simple yet effective initiative - within a month the children are much fitter, and feel happier and more confident in themselves. By instilling these healthy habits at a young age, we're helping our children to live full and healthy lives.
Christian Malcolm, World and European 200m Medallist -
Getting children active at a young age is key to setting them up for a healthy lifestyle. The Daily Mile is so simple. There’s no set up, tidy up, or equipment required. Children simply run outside in the fresh air. It’s fully inclusive; every child, whatever their circumstances, age or ability, succeeds at The Daily Mile.
Michaela Breeze, Commonwealth Games Weightlifting Gold Medalist -
Increasing opportunities to be physically active during the school day is key to ensuring our children are healthy and well. We are supporting the Daily Mile in Wales as a simple and innovate approach to help children be more active, more often.
Dr. Frank Atherton, Chief Medical Officer, Medical Director NHS Wales -
Physically active children and young people perform better academically than their inactive peers and those who are most active benefit the most.
Dr Richard Bailey, International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education
