As we recognise National Inclusion Week, it is important to raise awareness of the barriers and challenges faced which can impact on individuals participation within sport and physical activity.

To support National Fitness Day, Cameron Saunders, CEO of ukactive, explains in a new blog how improving our wellbeing doesn't always require big changes. Small steps to be more active can make a real difference, both physically and mentally.

"This year we're working with organisations across the sector, as well as schools, community groups, employers and others to make that first step easy, fun and frictionless.

Free taster sessions, beginner-friendly groups, times that fit real life – all 'Powered by You', our theme for this year.

Because that's what National Fitness Day is for – not for people who've already decided they're fit, but for the millions like my 16-year-younger self who have a reason to be active but are looking for a way to start."

This week is National Inclusion Week. 🤝

Inclusive values and practices sit at the heart of many successful clubs and community organisations. However, barriers still exist, particularly for those who have one or more protected characteristics.

To support people in doing this, Buddle has created a series of scenarios designed to help you and your organisation better meet the needs of different people and respond appropriately to any challenges that may be faced.

Active Lincolnshire's Youth Coaches Peer Support Programme, funded by Sport England and The National Lottery Good Causes, has been developed as part of their work in safeguarding and welfare ensuring local youth coaches have the confidence and understanding to embed strong practices within their clubs.

The programme provides an initial coaching pathway, empowers young coaches to play an integral role within their clubs, strengthens their position as positive role models, supports a more positive and effective safeguarding culture, and aims to develop a new generation of coaches who understand and value the importance of safeguarding and welfare in sport across our county.

Following the programme’s initial success and growing interest, Active Lincolnshire are now enhancing the offer by introducing sports leadership qualifications, supporting sector workforce development and creating more opportunities for young people across Lincolnshire.

Following the recent confirmation that Sport England will continue in its statutory consultee role, we wanted to reflect on the latest figures showing that 94% of concluded planning applications involving a playing field resulted in the protection or improvement of facilities. We take a closer look at what local playing fields mean to their communities.

With the help of the National Lottery Good Causes, Sport England funds projects and organisations that help more people get active and make sport and physical activity available to everyone.

Umbrella Yoga is one of the organisations that has received funding for 'Move, Breathe & Stride', aiming to increase activity levels through a free walking app group.

Many of their participants have underlying health conditions or disabilities, so moving more in a sustainable and accessible way is so important for health, motivation, and independence.
