An important day for us @AllForActivity today as we launch our Manifesto for change and our asks of the next government following the general election later this year.
Activity Alliance@AllForActivity17 Apr 2024
There are 16 million disabled people in the UK. Yet, disabled people face many barriers that can make it more challenging to access and take part in meaningful sport and physical activity. We have three important asks for the next government.
A quote from Adam Blaze, CEO of Activity Alliance. It reads: The next government needs to realise the potential and understand the power inclusive sport and physical activity can bring to this country. The inactivity crisis and deep-rooted inequalities for disabled people cannot be fixed by sport decision makers alone. It needs government commitment and leadership, across education, health, employment, and transport.
