Your next Labour Government will....
deliver sport, drama, breakfast clubs, debating and a fully expanded range of extracurricular clubs and activities to boost time for children to play and socialise after a decade of declining participation in extracurricular activities.
celebrate the role of organisations like Scouts, Girlguiding, uniformed cadets and community initiatives from across the country to highlight the role of the third sector in helping to realise our aspiration for all children.
