Children need to exercise more - for health, confidence and character building. This is now a national priority.

But here's something new - a fundraising event that encourages children to take exercise, not only to help themselves and their schools, but to help children less fortunate in developing countries.
And all for £1.

Registration for 2008 is now taking place.

So far 48,743 pupils are registered to participate from 167 schools and junior sports clubs.

A free School Assembly style DVD lasting 13 minutes entitled "A Day in the Life of Bashir" which is both informative and motivational, will be sent  with accompanying Teachers Notes, to each school that registers.

Between 2005-2007
191,774 pupils were registered to participate from 705 Schools and Junior Sports Clubs.

The children benefit, the schools benefit.
The organisation is simple.

We know this works
The Schoolchildren for Children appeal was launched successfully as a pilot project in Wales in 2003/4 with the support of the Welsh Rugby Union. In 2005 schools across the whole of the UK were targeted.

This year - with the inspiration of the successful London bid for the 2012 Olympics and the support of Dame Kelly Holmes - the aim is to expand school participation significantly.
