Every Reception-aged child in the county could receive a book teaching them about exercise and mental health thanks to Suffolk Mind.
The appeal has been launched as part of World Book Day, as the charity looks to help improve the mental health of children – with 35% of children admitting their wellbeing has worsened as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It is said movement and exercise helps make both the heart and body strong and healthy – while also burning off harmful stress hormones.
