regional Physical Activity Forum
Click here to book your FREE place. ukactive, Public Health England, the County Sports Partnership Network and the Local Government Association are delighted to invite you to the second stream of Moving More, Living More regional physical activity forum on Friday 13th March at The Studio venue in Birmingham.

New Charter to be unveiled to get many more
disabled people active
More sport and physical activity providers will be asked to commit their support to a new Charter, which aims to improve the number of active disabled people. The English Federation of Disability Sport’s Charter for Change will be unveiled by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson and Gerry Sutcliffe MP at an important occasion within the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday 24 February. The Charter outlines the key changes needed to ensure many more disabled people can reap the benefits of being active for life. In January, figures released for Sport England’s Active People Survey 8 showed 121,700 fewer disabled people participated in the period October 2013-2014 since the previous recording. However, research shows that most disabled people are not as active as they would like to be and that demand is not being met. EFDS’s Lifestyle Report released in 2013 found that seven in ten disabled people want to increase their physical activity. The Charter sets out what disabled people say they need to make this possible and outlines three asks: 1. Everyone involved in providing sport or physical activity will support disabled people to participate. 2. Disabled people will have the same opportunity as non-disabled people to be active throughout their lives. 3. All communications about sport and physical activity will promote positive public attitudes towards disabled people’s participation. For more information on the Charter and how you can commit your support, visit www.efds.co.uk/charter Follow the hashtag #EFDSCharter on the night.

Deaf Sport Survey
The survey is the first national sport and physical activity survey and as such it is hugely important that as many people who are deaf or hard of hearing know about the survey and complete it. The survey results will benefit CSP`s, NGB`s and other service providers to map and deliver better targeted activities to the deaf community. and hopefully increase the number of deaf inclusive projects funded by both national and local funders.
The deaf community is very fragmented and spread out across a wide range of services. Outside of Deaf Peoples Organisations there is an often hidden communities in most secondary and primary schools though at secondary school level people who are deaf or hard of hearing may be picked up by SEN. Other members of the community access Local Authority Services, most have some form of deaf advisory team and certainly have links to Health and Wellbeing groups.
So it is vitally important that CSP`s use their networks to forward on this information to Schools, HE/FE establishments and local Authorities and also as many community groups as possible. UK Deaf Sport want to work in partnership with CSP`s to ensure the message penetrates as far into local communities as possible.
