It is our mission to improve opportunities to be active, empowering disabled people to get involved in sports and activities in the way they choose. We will work with disabled people and an alliance of committed partners to build a movement for change.

We have three key ambitions:

  1. Sports and activities meet disabled people's needs. 
  2. Disabled people influence campaigning, policy and decision making. 
  3. Address inequalities by working with others.

Everything we do is focussed on removing unnecessary barriers and deep-rooted inequalities disabled people experience. We will not rest until every disabled person feels they belong in sports and activities and can experience the physical and mental health and social benefits that being active provides.

Our latest insight

Insight from our Annual Disability and Activity report 2023-24 shows we are not seeing enough positive trends in disabled people's perceptions and experiences of being active. Greater effort is needed to tackle the inequalities that affect disabled people in sport and activity.

Group 4 orange

Only 4 in 10 disabled people (41%) feel they are given the opportunity to be as physically active as they want to be.

Group 3a white

Many disabled people (38%) fear that being more active will result in their benefits or financial assistance being removed.

Group 5 green

Four in ten disabled people (39%) say the cost-of-living crisis has affected how active they are.

Group 10a orange

Yet, seven in ten disabled people (76%) want to be more active.
