Healthy living boost for pupils

A CHEADLE Heath business has launched a competition to encourage healthy living in schools across Stockport.

Totally Local Company, based on Oakhurst Drive, has partnered with Manchester firm, Little Sports Coaching to offer pupils the chance to win a free week of sports coaching for themselves and a friend.

Children are being asked to design a poster which promotes healthy living and encourages youngsters to make healthy choices and the winner will also get a free Little Sports Coaching session for their whole class, which they can help design.

Two runners-up will receive a free day at Little Sports Coaching for themselves and a friend to help kick-start or support their own healthy lifestyles.

All entrants will receive a voucher code for a 10 per cent discount off a Little Sports Coaching holiday course.

The competition will run until Friday, June 29, with the winners and runnersup announced on Thursday, July 5.

The top designs will be displayed in libraries across Stockport over the 2018 school summer holidays.

Jacqueline Shalks from Totally Local Company said: “As providers of freshly cooked, nutritious school meals, we see first hand the benefits of healthy eating. That’s why we’re so excited about this competition.”

Craig Brennan, founder and CEO of Little Sports Coaching, added: “Everyone knows that exercise is a key factor in staying healthy, but it can also build confidence, selfesteem, friendship and creativity.

“In school a healthy lifestyle can boost concentration and performance.”
