Play is a right, not a privilege.   Today, on #WorldChildren’sDay, we’re reminded that sport and play are fundamental rights for children, as set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. But here in the UK, too many young people are being denied these rights – not because of lack of ambition, but because of systemic barriers like poverty, reduced access to facilities, and cuts to school budgets.   At Greenhouse Sports, we see firsthand what happens when children are given the chance to play. It’s not just about being active – it’s about so much more. Deliberate play, delivered by experts helps cognitive development, improves wellbeing, unlocks potential, and improves those vital skills required to succeed in life.   That’s why we’re standing with Sir Mo Farah, Youth Sport Trust and a coalition of British sporting icons calling on the Government for a new national plan to get kids moving: https://lnkd.in/efkqkayq Every child deserves a fair chance to succeed, and the opportunity to play is where it begins.

“All Disabilities, All Sports!” Is a groundbreaking initiative from Paris 2024, the French Paralympic and Sports Committee and the Paris City Council. It has been expanded as part of the legacy programme of the Games, with support from the French State, to enable every person with a disability to take up a sport of their choice close to where they live. To achieve this, we need to build up a network of clubs that are well structured and developed enough to accommodate people with disabilities. #AccessibleSports #DisabledAthletes #Olympics24 ID: A picture of five athletes giving one another a high five with running bibs on as if they just finished a race and an article that's titled a more inclusive society Paris 20 2024

From inclusive coaching to international competitions, Germany is positioning itself as a leader in the integration of people with disabilities. The German Olympic Sports Confederation highlights its political demands for structural change https://lnkd.in/d4_9_tzQ

A change has to start some where Gregor Angus. There are so many contributing factors to the decline in sports participation across the country, local clubs and the lack of funding leading to less opportunities is part of. Also, what’s happening in schools, every child is in education so how can this help plug a gap if there aren’t opportunities in the wider community. Also what’s happening in our professional and amateur sporting organisations, how is the dropout at the intermediate or top level of sport impacting young people and are they staying active and involved. As a country, we have to look at all the stakeholders and see how we can all do better, streamline and use each other in a positive way, it doesn’t bode well for the future if it continues as is!!

On United Nations' International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, Access Sport highlight five ways to improve disabled and disadvantaged young people’s lives through sport: 1. Disabled and disadvantaged children have the right to 60 minutes of physical activity, just like every other child. 2. Inclusive community sport and school sport need equal priority and funding. 3. Investing in club leaders, coaches and volunteers, of today and tomorrow, is critical if we want to make community sport truly inclusive. 4. Sense of belonging and community underpin the wider transformational benefits of sport and need to be prioritised in the way we support and fund the sector. 5. Community sport is complex but this is a strength not a weakness. It's time to embrace and empower the whole sector. #communitysport #disabilitysport #inclusivesport
