The Mayor’s Golden Kilometre is an initiative set up to encourage Barnet schools to help their pupils take part in a 1km run, skip or jog every day around their school playground, field or local green space. The main aim of the initiative is to get young people moving more to improve their physical health and mental well-being. This programme began in 2016 and since then 12 primary schools have signed up with over 7,000 children taking part. 

We coordinate local health and wellbeing services and information for people who live in Barnet.
