NSPG: ‘There can be no growth without health’

The National Sector Partners Group (NSPG) has hosted a reception in Westminster to discuss the sport and physical activity sector’s agenda with MPs from across the new government.

Those attending the event included the new Sports Minister, Steph Peacock; Labour MP, Kim Leadbeater and a number of other leaders from across the sport, recreation and physical activity landscape.

Among the topics explored were the opportunities for the new Government to work with the physical activity sector and help make the UK the most active nation in Europe.

In a speech on behalf of the group, ukactive CEO, Huw Edwards, said: “As we start this new Parliament, has the full power of sport, recreation, and physical activity been fully harnessed in our nation? Sadly, no.”
