A Sport and Physical Activity Action Plan for Disabled People in London 2007-2012

‘Inclusive and Active’ was commissioned by the Greater London Authority, Sport England London Region and London Sports Forum for Disabled People to help achieve our shared aim of achieving a significant increase in participation in sport and physical activity by disabled people.

Disabled people do not have the same opportunities or choice of sports, activities or facilities that others already enjoy. Only nine per cent of disabled people aged 16 and over in London participate in 3 x 30 minutes of sport or active recreation a week which is much lower than the London average of 21.3 per cent. Furthermore, young disabled people participate significantly less frequently than their non disabled peers.

Inclusive and Active highlights these inequalities in provision and opportunity and provides actions and direction for all partners involved in the delivery of sport and active recreation in order to start tackling and addressing the challenges that disabled people face.
