Project details
+Sport Move and Learn – Leyton Orient Trust
The + Sport Move and Learn Project is a national school-based educational programme for children aged 9-10 years old, run by football community trusts across the country, joined by Leyton Orient Trust. It aims to encourage physical activity, promote nutritional education and build awareness of the importance of a healthy diet and active lifestyle. Launching for the first time this year in our area, we aim to deliver the programme in local schools in Waltham Forest and Hackney.
Over six weeks, Year 5 children will spend time completing a practical session on football, handball and dodgeball followed by a session in the classroom covering six different topics related to the body, nutrition, the importance of exercise and information about food groups, in line with the recommendations outlined in the Government’s Eatwell Guide.
Ferrero is supporting the project as part of its global Kinder+Sport initiative, which is designed to get children moving. As a pillar of the company’s CSR activity, it is completely separate from any promotional or branded initiatives and children will never see the brand name in schools, nor will they ever receive any product.
