Great to see our research featured on BBC Newsline this evening. A continuing worrying trend of parents struggling to support their children to be physically active due to the cost of living. My colleague @MariaOKane29 speaking on this segment 👏🏻👏🏻
According to research from the Ulster University, more parents are having to take their children out of sporting activities as they can't afford it due to the rising cost of living. Some parents in Lurgan who are calling for more support over the summer holidays.
