It’s concerning that young people's activity levels have stagnated over the last three years, with only 48 percent participating in an average of 60 minutes or more of sport and physical activity every day.   It is also saddening to see that young people are less happy, resilient and trusting than they were in 2017.   These findings reiterate that the status quo is not working!   It’s time to be more ambitious for the young people we say we want to support and to focus on action not words.   As a sector, we must collaborate, break down barriers, and invest in developing new inclusive activities that support all young people to experience the life-changing benefits of being active.   Head to our website to learn more about how we are working, with sector partners, to make inclusion the norm in community sport ➡️ www.AccessSport.org.uk/ #StandForInclusion

“It’s great to see people that don’t usually have access sport being able to participate in activities and get all the benefits of sports” Our biggest winter Ignite multi-sports festival yet! Last week we hosted an inspiring multi-sport festival in Bristol to engage disabled young people in community sport. With over 75 people attending with their friends and family, it was inspiring to see so many disabled young people socialising and enjoying community sport – some for the first time!
