As part of Children's Mental Health Week families have been encouraged to pick up a skipping to help lift their mood.

With the amount of time people can spend outside during lockdown limited, not to mention some lacking the space to exercise, skipping is a good way to keep physically and mentally healthy.

Charity Supporting Humanity started the Mental Health Skipping Challenge.

"It's a fun thing to do, and it's an excuse to get out the house during Covid," says Zaavier Khan.
