SCHOOLCHILDREN FOR CHILDREN

Motion Text

That this House congratulates the work of the charity Schoolchildren for Children which both assists with the development of extra-curricular sporting activities at schools in the UK and provides books and other school equipment in some of the poorest countries in the world; recognises the importance of children having access to sporting activities outside of school hours; notes the recent success of athletes from across the UK at the Olympics which has created an even stronger interest in children wanting to take up sport; and wishes the charity well in its dual role of supporting sporting activity for UK children and improving the provision of education in the developing world.
