A Golden Mile for Pennard Primary
Young People
We want to build an all weather running track to support children's right to be fit and healthy so every child can run a daily mile.
About this cause
We are a community group supporting the educational and wellbeing aims of Pennard Primary School and its pupils. In particular we are supporting the development of the grounds to support outdoor play and learning. The natural environment provides numerous positive benefits for child development. Immersed in nature, children are significantly more active, have greater levels of focus and experience a sense of freedom not found in indoor spaces. It encourages children to work together, improves communication skills and overall levels of confidence and wellbeing. In particular we will be helping to raise funds for a 'Golden Mile' running track. The aim of the track is get our children running a mile every day support their right to be 'fit and healthy'.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Inspire the community with a simple, free and sustainable way to be active. The Daily Mile is proven to help maintain a healthy body weight, improves personal self-efficacy and improves focus and concentration amongst many other things.
