We are not seeing enough positive trends in disabled people’s perceptions and experiences of being active. Yet, disabled people (77%) are more likely to say they want to be more active compared to non-disabled people (54%). activityalliance.org.uk/news… #ActivityAllianceSurvey

Plenty of good guidance which we will be incorporating in our reports about the active environment.
Where we live, work, travel & play has a major role in shaping our activity choices. #SportEngland, supported by @activetraveleng & @OHID has updated Active Design guide to help planners, designers & developers create environments that support more people be physically active.

#ActiveLives Adult Survey Report 📣 Activity levels have bounced back to pre-pandemic levels There are 1.5m more active adults than in 2015/16 Results are a testament to those working & volunteering in physical activity as well as the significant investment of @DCMS and @TNLUK money, that has helped the sector to recover. This is the first survey since the pandemic to cover a year without covid restrictions. It’s positive progress, but there's still work to be done.
