Include to Improve stories
Check out our series of impact stories from across the programme, including personal experiences from members of our Lived Experience Network (LEN) and positive change being made through our Strategic Partner Network (SPN).
Our Lived Experience Network is a safe space for disabled people to share their views of taking part and working in sport and physical activity, to help shape a more inclusive future.
The Strategic Partner Network is a collaborative group for organisations from different sectors including national disability sports partners, the voluntary and community sector, leisure and health, wanting to strengthen their commitment to disabled people's inclusion.
These networks come together as part of the Include to Improve programme to create more opportunities for disabled people to take part, volunteer and work in sports and activities.
