ALT No disabled person should have to choose between being active for their health, wellbeing and enjoyment, and protecting the vital financial support they rely on. Government must now work with disabled people to create a fairer social security system that understands fluctuating conditions and enables active lives rather than discouraging them.”

ALT Help us understand our impact. A group of men are in a stretching class.

ALT 52% of disabled people are less likely to feel they have the opportunity to be as active as they would like to be (compared to 74% of non-disabled people).

ALT Quote from Adam Blaze: Nearly half of all disabled adults (49.1%) are now active for more than 150+ minutes a week, this is the highest recorded figure since the Active Lives survey began. This shows what is possible when opportunities are inclusive and shaped by disabled people’s lived experiences. This is a moment to recognise steady progress, but also to raise the nation’s ambition.

ALT Disabled people are more likely to be inactive, not through lack of desire, but because systems are not designed with them in mind. A coordinated approach across sport, health, education, transport and planning is essential if this gap is to be closed rather than continually managed around.
