Children's Healthy Activity Programme

We believe in the World Health Organisation’s Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health.

That’s why we are proud to commit $1 per roll from the sale of each roll of Dunlop Crown Premium Carpet Cushion to the Children’s Healthy Activity Programme.

This programme, established by Floorworld and Dunlop Flooring, is especially designed to help community-based children’s sporting groups through direct funding from the ‘Grants Panel’ monthly.

Regular physical activity provides young people with important physical, mental and social health benefits.

Regular physical activity helps children and young people build and maintain healthy bones, muscles and joints; helps control body weight; and helps reduce fat and develop healthier heart and lungs.

It also contributes to the development of movement and helps control feelings of anxiety and depression. Some studies show that among adolescents, the more often they participate in physical activity, the less likely they are to use tobacco.

It has also been found that children who are more physically active perform better academically. Team games and play promote positive social integration and helps develop social skills.  Sourced from World Health Organisation (WHO).
