“There is lots within Get Active to be welcomed, it has the right intentions," “But crucially this strategy does not contain any new investment, or details on how there will be more joined-up government working." @danroan @BBCSport @LondonSport

The government wants to improve the nation's health and fitness at a time when gyms and pools are closing.

I really hope Jordan doesn’t do this. He’s been such a powerful and staunch LGBTQ+ ally
🚨 Jordan Henderson leaning towards accepting life-changing Al Ettifaq offer. 33yo set to decide imminently. Would quadruple Liverpool wages. Gerrard driving pursuit. If Henderson approves, clubs will immediately hold talks on deal @TheAthleticFC #LFC #SPL

It was great to welcome @maxwhitlock1 from @TeamGB to meet pupils from @ColvillePS to raise awareness of physical activity within London. Great work by @AldiUK with food vouchers providing healthy snacks as part of @LondonSport Opening Schools Facilities programme.

A multi-million pound fund to help local authorities keep afloat pools which struggled with energy bills has been launched. @Sport_England will manage this on behalf of government. It's part of the investment for facilities with pools announced in the #SpringBudget More⬇️ @DCMS

“They're learning to get off their phones… they're learning discipline… respect… manners” Boxing promoter @EddieHearn tells @Peston how sport can help tackle anti-social behaviour, and explains why he sends his daughters to a local boxing club #Peston

This is good news and many in the sector have been lobbying for help for pools. Thanks for listening @DCMS @StuartAndrew
We're providing ÂŁ63 million to support public leisure centres with swimming pools. ÂŁ40m will go towards making pools more energy efficient in the long term, with ÂŁ20m to help leisure centres deal with rising costs.

It was great to meet you @caitlinmoran last week. At @LondonSport we’ve been raising the needs of local gyms with @StuartAndrew @DCMS and used the very example of YMCA in that @petepaphides writes about.
Thank you @petepaphides for writing so beautifully about why places like #CrouchEndFitness are so important 👇🏻

Today’s #BigSwimDay is about having fun and sharing your passion for the pool. But there’s also a serious message. Half of UK community swimming pools face closure or cuts amid crippling energy costs within SIX months. Full story >> https://t.co/Se9NaHSXpp

We’re concerned that we could lose vital assets like public pools due to sky high energy costs
🏊‍♀️A leading swimming pool operator says some London pools could close unless government reverses its decision to exclude them from the Energy Bills Discount Scheme. Government says it’s spent £18bn on support but reviewed it due to “unsustainable costs”. More @susana_mendonca⤵️
