GOGA impact
Launched in 2016, Get Out Get Active has become much more than an activity programme. It is an approach to helping organisations and communities across the UK support the least active disabled and non-disabled people in activity.
From swimming clubs in the south of England to walking groups in Northern Ireland, over 58,000 participants have taken part in 3,510 activities and interventions to date, and over 4,490 volunteers have given their support.
