Giant Digital, a leading digital website design and build agency for nonprofit organisations, is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded the contract to redesign and build the new website for The Daily Mile Foundation (supported by INEOS), a charity focused on improving the health of children across the world by increasing opportunities for physical activity within the school day.
The Daily Mile, a transformational model for increasing physical activity within schools, founded by former headteacher Elaine Wyllie MBE in 2012, aims to improve the physical, emotional, and social health and well-being of children regardless of age or personal circumstances. The charity, which has seen immense engagement with schools globally, is supported by INEOS and reaches millions of children in thousands of schools worldwide.
Giant Digital’s selection for this high-profile project underscores its reputation for delivering cutting-edge digital solutions and reflects its commitment to fostering innovation and excellence in website design and user experience.
We are incredibly honoured to have been chosen to work with The Daily Mile and INEOS on this important project," said Simon Evans, Customer Success Director Giant Digital. "This opportunity allows us to contribute to a cause that promotes health and well-being among children, and we are beyond excited to bring our expertise in digital design and technology to create an engaging, user-friendly website that will support The Daily Mile's continued mission to improve the physical, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of our children – regardless of age, ability or personal circumstances.
The new website will feature a modern, intuitive design and enhanced functionality to provide users with a seamless experience that will cater for a broader range of audiences.
Giant Digital’s innovative approach and dedication to quality will ensure that The Daily Mile Foundation’s new website becomes a vital resource for encouraging children to embrace physical activity and adopt healthier lifestyles and will provide The Daily Mile Foundation with the tools to support the ongoing growth and expansion of the organisation.
Over 20,000 schools and teachers across the UK and globally have demonstrated their commitment to addressing the health crisis that our children are facing, by incorporating The Daily Mile into their school day, ensuring regular opportunities for physically activity. This work has never been more important. To strengthen our support for schools, teachers and our stakeholders, The Daily Mile Foundation is embarking on a crucial initiative, the development of a new website and we are thrilled to collaborate with Giant Digital on this pivotal project. Our goal is to create a site that not only fully caters for the expanding Daily Mile community, but also educates and inspires others about the vital role that physical activity and social interaction plays in children’s health and wellbeing. We believe Giant Digital’s expertise in the third sector makes them the ideal partner for this project and we are excited to see what we can create together.

About The Daily Mile:
The Daily Mile was first developed by Elaine Wyllie MBE when she was Headteacher of St Ninian’s Primary School in Stirling, Scotland in February 2012.
Since 2016, The Daily Mile has been supported by global chemical company INEOS, which has enabled the free initiative to grow globally helping millions of children to get active every day. The initiative is simple – but can be transformational to children’s health and wellbeing. It involves classes heading outside to run, wheel or walk around the school grounds for 15 minutes every day, at whatever pace suits the child best. It gets children active with their friends and teachers and refreshed for further learning.
The Daily Mile is free, fun and fits in the school day easily. Though named “The Daily Mile” (as children tend to average running a mile in the 15 minutes), the distance isn’t compulsory, and the ethos of the scheme is of inclusivity, enjoyment, and self-improvement over time. The Daily Mile is intended to help all children, no matter their age, ability, or personal circumstances, enjoy getting active every day – getting fitter and healthier now, but also developing healthy habits for a lifetime.
