Councillor Obaida Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said: "Yo! Active is a brilliant way to inspire our children and young people to take part in regular physical activities, with a fantastic range of free opportunities available not only this Christmas, but all year round.

"Becoming more physically active can help improve heart health, build strong bones and muscles, control weight and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and it's also a great way to make new friends. 

"Around 15,000 children and young people have already signed up to Yo! Active, and I'd encourage other youngsters, parents and guardians to check out what is on offer and sign up so that their children can enjoy free access to these high-quality physical activities.”
