ABOUT THIS EVENT


ARE YOU WORKING TO INCREASE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVELS FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES?

You might be a council officer, an elected member, or working for a third sector
organisation in public health, active travel, healthy lifestyles, children and
families, or something related.

You might be a parent or a local community activist wanting to create positive
change for children and communities where you live.

This webinar will inspire, motivate and provide evidence for how play streets
can support increased physical activity levels and improved health and
well-being for children and communities.

We will interview Dr William Bird MBE, who has worked tirelessly throughout his
career to promote active lifestyles as ‘prevention is the best medicine’. He
appears regularly on BBC breakfast and has a strong interest in how our
environments promote health. He created Green Gym and the first Health Walks
programme. His organisation Intelligent Health is now partnered with Playing Out
to promote play streets as the next step from their popular game and health
intervention Beat the Street. See more on William below.

Playing Out will present the evidence from Bristol University and other sources
which recommend play streets as one part of the solution for tackling the
physical activity and well-being crisis currently facing our children.

There will be an optional Q&A at 11-11.30pm if you want to ask questions.


WILLIAM BIRD BIO

Dr William Bird MBE is a highly influential GP with a vision of making a lasting
difference to people’s health and wellbeing by supporting them to become more
active. Ever since he was a child, William has been fascinated by the connection
between humans and their environment, so it was inevitable he would set up a
company - Intelligent Health - whose aim is to improve health through community
interventions. Beat the Street their flagship programme has encouraged more than
1.4million people to get moving and improve their health. Intelligent Health are
now working in partnership with Playing Out, to promote play streets as the next
step for families to take after completing the Beat the Street game.

In 2015, William was named by The Independent as one of the top 100 people
making Britain a happier place, and in 2010 was appointed MBE for services for
health and physical activity.

CONTEXT /BACKGROUND

Even before lockdown, only 18% of children in the UK were getting the
recommended 60 minutes a day of physical activity, contributing to obesity and
other major health problems and with children from lower income households the
worst affected. For decades, public health officials have struggled to find
effective answers to the question, “how do we get children more active?”

But one very obvious, vital - and cheap! - solution is often overlooked.
Unstructured outdoor play is fundamental to children’s healthy development and
is also one of the easiest, most natural ways for children to be physically
active in their daily lives, as well to socialise and have fun. Given the
chance, children want to play outside together and when they do, they are
naturally active. As one mum has put it, ‘playing out is them getting exercise
without noticing."

Resident-led play streets are not a ‘magic bullet’ - they only happen for a few
hours a week or month - but they are a huge step in the right direction. By
giving children time, space and permission to play freely together on their
doorstep, they not only increase activity levels but bring deeper benefits for
children’s wellbeing and healthy development. They are also simple, low-cost and
community-building.

Most importantly, play streets are a way to start changing things for children
in a bigger way, building the conditions needed for them to have more freedom
and physical activity in their everyday lives: safe, child-friendly local
environments; strong, supportive communities and a normalisation of children
playing out near home.

FEEDBACK FROM PLAY STREETS THIS SUMMER:

Had a fantastic play out this week in Cambridge. Thank you Playing Out for the
advice to help us make it covid safe. […] There was basketball, and basketball
on rollerblades. […] When the skipping rope came out one Mum turned out to be an
expert and showed us loads of new tricks and rhymes.
