Earlier this week we launched our new bold strategy #WeAllBelong. To accompany the launch we created a new campaign video which we feel really conveys the power of belonging in sports and activities, and what that means - we hope you like it! youtube.com/watch?v=GpG2QbqU…

We are very proud to introduce our new strategy - We all belong. It's the result of powerful collaboration with our partners and we are confident it addresses the major barriers that disabled people face when trying to be active. More info: activityalliance.org.uk/news… #WeAllBelong

It's time for Equal Play ✊ ParalympicsGB is today launching a campaign calling for equal access to PE and school sport for disabled children. Shockingly, just one in four say they currently take part in sport at school. It's time for change. #ParalympicsGB | #EqualPlay

Final game of the day was such a good one at the #FADisabilityCup finals. Honoured to present the trophy as a representative from @AllForActivity to @WBAFoundation, especially as I used to work for them many years ago! Great performance!

It is good to be at #Elevate24 today representing @AllForActivity and to be part of a panel looking at how we become the most active nation in the world. I can imagine how much better our lives would be if our culture was based around everyone moving and being active.

This morning we have released the latest results from our Annual Disability and Activity Survey. Three in four disabled people want to be more active. This is an opportunity for significant change. Find out more here activityalliance.org.uk/news…
A photo of a quote from Adam Blaze, CEO Activity Alliance. The quote is 'There are more than 16 million disabled people in the UK, and the reality is that three in four want to be more active. This is not only an untapped market but shows there are vital improvements needed to break down deep-rooted barriers.'.

Thank you Wakefield 💙 Helping me raise awareness 👏🏼 what is Apraxia I still hear people say ? It’s when the messages from the brain do not get through to your mouth correctly due to damage. You might not be able to move your lips or tongue the right way to say sounds. Sometimes, you might not be able to speak at all. Apraxia of speech is sometimes called CAS childhood apraxia of speech or verbal dyspraxia 🙈 sorry lesson over 🗣️

An important day for us @AllForActivity today as we launch our Manifesto for change and our asks of the next government following the general election later this year.
Activity Alliance (@AllForActivity) profile pictureActivity Alliance@AllForActivity17 Apr 2024
There are 16 million disabled people in the UK. Yet, disabled people face many barriers that can make it more challenging to access and take part in meaningful sport and physical activity. We have three important asks for the next government.
A quote from Adam Blaze, CEO of Activity Alliance. It reads: The next government needs to realise the potential and understand the power inclusive sport and physical activity can bring to this country. The inactivity crisis and deep-rooted inequalities for disabled people cannot be fixed by sport decision makers alone. It needs government commitment and leadership, across education, health, employment, and transport.

This is absolutely disgusting. How can any individual or business think that this is acceptable? Have I missed an apology? We still have such a long way to go to create a society that is inclusive of everyone. As a parent my heart breaks for the mum in this video.

Great to be part of @kimleadbeater Health & Wellbeing conference in Leeds. Many great speakers. I got the opportunity to stress the importance of cross-government working to make sport and activity accessible, and the need for Minister for Disabled People in a future government.
