Cheddar gym encouraging young children to keep active

Must read

Kings Fitness and Leisure has been rewarding children aged four to 13 with stickers and prizes for keeping fit.

The ‘Junior Activities Passports’ have been distributed to nearly 3,000 children in the Wessex Learning Trust during assemblies and PE lessons.

The initiative has become more popular than anticipated, with stickers being “given out like hot cakes,” according to assistant club manager Shane Fear.

Children can earn stickers for completing activities both at Kings Fitness and Leisure and in their respective schools.

Special challenges set throughout the year offer the chance to win rare, shiny stickers.

Teachers and parents have also been getting involved.
