Leaders from across government, sport and the charity sector gathered in Parliament this week (4 December) for an
APPG for Sport and APPG for Disability session to discuss how – looking ahead to the 2024 Paralympic Games and upcoming General Election – we can bridge the Activity Gap and ensure every disabled person can access the wide benefits of sport and physical activity.
The session was hosted by Kim Leadbeater MP and attended by the Minister for Disabled People, Tom Pursglove MP and APPG Vice-Chair Baroness Amanda Sater. With input from panellists including Paralympics GB, Sport England, Activity Alliance and top athletes Jake Woods and Floran Steeples the discussion focussed on what more must be done to tackle barriers facing disabled people.
