** About The Daily Mile Foundation
** The Daily Mile was created by one headteacher and her school community as a simple solution to a modern global challenge, and it has become a flagship model for increasing levels of physical activity and supporting children’s health within schools across the UK and globally. The Daily Mile model is simple: 15 minutes of children running, wheeling or walking – at their own pace – outdoors with friends.

It is led by the teacher and takes place during class time. Evidence shows this simple act profoundly improves children’s physical, social and emotional wellbeing, regardless of a child’s age, ability or personal circumstances. With over 21,000 schools across 97 countries registered to participate in The Daily Mile over a 10‑year period, the task of building on these strong foundations is an exciting and challenging one.

The charity is UK‑based with a London headquarters but has a global reach.
