.@sportforconf is transforming lives through inclusive physical activity!
By integrating Occupational Therapy into community sport, they empower individuals with disabilities and long-term health conditions to overcome barriers and stay active.

In the last few days we’ve seen communities come together against violence and hatred. We stand with you.
Everyone in the sports sector needs to read and act on the Breaking Barriers report from
@AccessSport @NuffieldHealth @FoundationBetty and @Womeninsport_uk
shedding light on the struggles disabled teenage girls face in getting active.
Last night we launched our Breaking Barriers research at @NuffieldHealth's Barbican Support Centre.
By joining forces with our key partners and wider sectors, we are positive that we can enact tangible change for all teenage girls.

In #Merton, under 16s and over 65s can enjoy FREE indoor swimming in the borough's three leisure centres.💦

Great to be invited to celebrate @NickyAffleck 1st birthday. Loved sharing the exciting ambition for @Merton_Council to become London’s #BoroughofSport with disability sports coach, GLA, @LondonSport and many others. See you soon

An interesting study here, that has found just under 4,000 steps daily reduce mortality, and 2,337 daily steps reduce the risk of CVD.
For every additional 500-1,000 steps, even more health benefits can be had.
Movement is life! 🚶
