YST launch PE & School Sport: The Annual Report 2024

The latest PE and School Sport Report highlights the issues facing children and young people today and the need to take urgent action.

They say: "The world is rapidly changing - innovative thinking and creative solutions are required if we are to fully harness the power of physical activity to build brighter futures for children and young people.

"This generation's wellbeing remains in crisis. Children and young people’s happiness is at an all-time low, whilst loneliness and mental health disorders are on the rise. Mental health and wellbeing for children in the UK is amongst the worst in the world. The scale of the challenge requires an urgent response, not just to support this generation but to deliver the change needed so all children can grow up happier and healthier."
