Over the past year, we have continued to lead the creation of a Disability Active Lifestyle Framework for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough in partnership with representatives from Headway, Sense, Disability Peterborough, Cambridgeshire FA and individuals with experience in developing physical activity for the disability community. Disability and inclusion work continues to be a priority for us across everything we do and we hope this framework will support and improve physical activity across the county to become more equitable and inclusive.
Once this framework has been published, we encourage partners to consider how they can implement the framework to make a real change for disabled people to access physical activity, sport, and leisure in the way they want, when they want, with no barriers placed on them by society.
Sophie Etheridge – Adaptive Athlete “I have always swum but not always been disabled…” Sophie, a determined and passionate individual, has faced numerous challenges since her cycling accident in 2011.
Once this framework has been published, we encourage partners to consider how they can implement the framework to make a real change for disabled people to access physical activity, sport, and leisure in the way they want, when they want, with no barriers placed on them by society.
In partnership with the South Care Partnership, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICS and Cambridge United Community Trust, Living Sport are coordinating a walking football project in South Cambridgeshire running from March 2023.
Our aim is to improve health, happiness and wellbeing by supporting people to be active, in a meaningful way through programmes, events and influencing policy. Your donations are hugely appreciated and help make this possible.
