FAMILIES have been encouraged to keep children safe and active over the summer holidays.
The call has been made by school nurses from Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust.
Kids have been asked to take part in activities including walking, swimming and running.
Cathy Allen, Care Group Manager at Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust, which provides health and wellbeing services across the area, said: “Physical activity helps children maintain a healthy weight and grow strong bones as well as discover the world around them.
“Most of all it’s great fun and will keep them occupied throughout their time away from school.”
