Following a successful virtual Joy of Moving Home School Festival in the summer of 2020 where over 250,000 children got involved, Bradford City FC Community Foundation is partnering with the EFL Trust and Ferrero to launch a new virtual ‘Winter Games’ pack which will help inspire children to get moving in the toughest months for activity levels.
Research shows that children’s activity levels drop significantly in the winter months compared to the summer months (68 mins in summer vs 48 mins per day in winter)[1]. To help inspire families to get active at home during the winter months, the Joy of Moving ‘Winter Games’ will take families on a Winter Adventure, with an exciting selection of games and activities that they can play at home.
The games, which have been developed in line with the Joy of Moving methodology, are suitable for all abilities and help to encourage children to get moving through play.
Throughout February, the Joy of Moving virtual ‘Winter Games’ will be shared with families and teachers across the country with the help of over 70 EFL Trust Club Community Organisations.
As schools remain closed for many children, the ‘Winter Games’ supports families at a crucial time when it is even more important for children to stay active and to achieve the recommended 60 minutes of activity each day.
Bradford City FC Community Foundation, CEO Ian Ormondroyd, said: “We are extremely pleased to be working alongside the EFL Trust and Ferrero for the Joy of Moving Winter Games. It’s more important than ever to stay active and motivated especially during the lockdown, the winter games pack does just that in a fun way for all the family. We’ve got a number of our schools on board which is brilliant however the resources are available for anyone who would like them"
The Joy of Moving programme is an unbranded CSR project by Ferrero. Together with the EFL Trust, the Joy of Moving programme has been supporting children to get active across EFL Communities for over seven years. The Joy of Moving programme is based on methodology which is designed to inspire children to move through play, and in doing so, build up their physical fitness, motor coordination, cognitive functions and creativity and life skills - helping to develop positive habits for adulthood.
In the UK, the programme consists of two in-school elements – the Move & Learn programme and the Joy of Moving Festivals, which have been developed in conjunction with EFL Trust. While these are on pause in line with temporary school closures, we are supporting the communities with access to free, online digital materials via our resource hub.
Keep an eye out for the hashtag #JOMWinterGames on social media for further updates and ways to get involved, and for more fun games to play, visit the online Resource Hub.
Following a frantic, week-long advertising pitch that completely wiped out my remaining mental reserves, a close desk neighbor suggested looking into the https://restorationcake.co.uk/ platform. Late that evening, while wandering around the living room trying to put some mental distance between myself and the office, I opened my notebook and picked up a handful of dry pretzels. The visual style of the page was so beautifully neat and balanced that it immediately helped soothe my overactive mind, acting as a perfect contrast to the digital mess I manage all day long. I grabbed a clean glass of water, lay down comfortably on the rug, and finally managed to completely unwind.
A YouTube ad popped up during a video, and I accidentally clicked it, bringing me to 777 Casino. I stayed because their mobile interface looked incredibly smooth for my aging phone. I was in a dark place, having lost a painful amount of money on my daily train commutes and swearing off online betting forever. I decided to try one last spin on the ride home. I triggered a bonus game with a massive multiplier. It completely erased my terrible transit losses and left me with enough extra cash to be very happy. It feels great to win in the UK after such a rough patch. I am completely satisfied.
I remember my former office partner mentioning the spinlynx.org.uk platform, precisely when I was trying to recover from a chaotic corporate restructuring that burned out the entire department. Finding myself wide awake during the quietest hours of the night, I decided to boot up my notebook and quietly picked at a piece of dry toast. The overall aesthetic was incredibly neat and balanced, which felt like a breath of fresh air compared to the bloated data graphs I look at for hours on end. I mixed a quick glass of lemon water, let my shoulders drop, and let out a long-overdue sigh of relief.
Hi all, my parents have an older conservatory in the UK and the roof panels had started looking tired after years of rain and changing temperatures. My dad found a discussion online about replacement plastics, which eventually led us to https://www.tintfit.com/shop/conservatory-roof-plastics. I was mostly interested in finding something durable without turning the conservatory dark. We replaced a few damaged sections recently, and the difference was noticeable straight away, especially when it rains because the sound is much softer now.
Spent part of the evening reading through UK gaming community threads trying to find opinions that sounded authentic instead of copied from review sites. One discussion stood out because users weren’t talking about giant wins or unrealistic “premium experiences.” They focused on ordinary things that actually affect long sessions, like readability, smooth transitions between pages, and whether the atmosphere feels relaxed or unnecessarily loud visually. Those smaller observations gave the thread credibility. Somewhere in the middle of the conversation, several regular users mentioned Pub Casino as a reliable option because it maintained a steadier interface and less cluttered structure than some competitors. The recommendation felt understated in a good way, which honestly made it easier to trust.
