Quote from Adam Blaze: Nearly half of all disabled adults (49.1%) are now active for more than 150+ minutes a week, this is the highest recorded figure since the Active Lives survey began. This shows what is possible when opportunities are inclusive and shaped by disabled people’s lived experiences. This is a moment to recognise steady progress, but also to raise the nation’s ambition.

Today, @sport-england-se.bsky.social released the latest data from the Active Lives Adult Survey for the year 2024-25. Over 175,000 people aged 16 and over took part. Our research team has analysed the data to highlight the findings for disabled adults. www.activityalliance.org.uk/news/10563-o...

Disabled people are more likely to be inactive, not through lack of desire, but because systems are not designed with them in mind. A coordinated approach across sport, health, education, transport and planning is essential if this gap is to be closed rather than continually managed around. Sarah Brown-Fraser Head of Communications and Policy Activity Alliance

We welcome the Culture, Media and Sport Committee’s Game On report. It shows clear recognition that disabled people and pupils with SEND are among those least well served by the current community and school sport system. www.activityalliance.org.uk/news/10556-r...
