Much more than just a one-off skipping day
We are so much more than a business that provides a one-off skipping day (sorry, we thought it was worth repeating). You probably won’t be surprised to hear that we talk to hundreds of schools every year (which is great, thanks for your continued support). Lots of these schools use our complete concept brilliantly, and […]

Dan the Skipping Man is truly inclusive
When you hold a DTSM Skipping Day, the observant amongst you may see on our wonderful new banners have a Wheelchair user on them. Now, this is not us (we promise) paying lip service to inclusion.

Children are becoming more sedentary! Dan the Skipping Man® takes action …

And 10 days ago in the Guardian, we noticed a piece by Andrew Gregory (Twitter: @andrewgregory) about just that.
