What are we trying to do?
The Mayor of London has appointed us, London’s child obesity taskforce, to make sure every child in London has every opportunity to be healthy.
This year, supported by the Mayor, our aim is to get all primary and secondary school children across London to only drink water when they’re in school. This would put an end to selling and drinking fizzy drinks in London’s schools.
Why do we need your help?
Well, how did you feel when you read that? Did it make you think “no problem, I only drink water anyway”, or did you think “Eugh — no way, water is horrible”?
This is why we need your help. All of you have different views, but overwhelmingly scientists, teachers and sports experts tell us that water has enormous benefits over other drinks.
