Include to Improve stories
Stories from members of the Include to Improve Lived Experience Network (LEN) and Strategic Partner Network (SPN).
The LEN 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 SPN 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.
Below we share stories from members of both groups and hear first hand what truly makes a difference for disabled people.
