Wads of cash, ice cream and free beer are just some of the incentives that authorities around the world have offered to encourage take-up of COVID vaccines. What learnings can we take from these moves for inspiring people to be more active?
"Women, young people aged 16-24, over 75s, disabled people and people with LTCs, plus people from minority ethnic backgrounds were most negatively impacted beyond the initial lockdown ."
Huge role for community leisure providers in supporting these groups to get moving again.

Lots of speculation in the media on the @BorisJohnson roadmap for lifting lockdown. Important to note the Govt is already on record saying the reopening of gyms & community sports facilities will be a priority, & @_ukactive is in good discussions with Govt officials on this

Perhaps the first sign of lockdown madness – just accidentally made myself both tea and coffee in one cup.
