We can help organisations to embed inclusive practice. Our programmes and resources help you to include disabled people more effectively.
There are more disabled women than men. 24 per cent of women in the UK are disabled, compared to 20 per cent of men.
The prevalence of disability rises with age. In the UK, 9 per cent of children are disabled compared with 21 per cent of working-age adults and 42 per cent of people over state pension age.

Barries-Psychological barriers listed by disabled people include: personal perception, lack of self-confidence, low self-esteem, negative body image and the perception of others. Lack of confidence and self-belief prevent many disabled people from even considering taking part in physical activity and sport.
Age
The biggest difference, as the name suggests, is there is no running. Walking football is played at walking pace, with players not allowed to run. This includes with the ball or off the ball, and includes jogging. You can ‘walk’ as fast as you want and walking as described in the rules is “one foot must be in contact with the ground at all times.”

Walking football is an excellent way of staying fit and healthy. Studies have shown it can be effective in the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension. It can produce high aerobic activity with marked improvements in fat oxidation and aerobic power. There are also substantial mental health benefits.

One other big difference to association or 5-a-side football is that it’s classed as non-contact sport. Although tackling is allowed, this must be done with no contact.
Barries-Older people may experience decreasing flexibility, strength and general fitness and find it harder to recover from injury. This affects their choice of activity and gentler, lower impact sports such as golf, bowls and cycling are popular with the older age group.
Socioeconmic
Transforming young people’s lives through sport and physical activity requires partnership. That’s why we’re keen to hear from potential partners with ambition, commitment and a passion for creating healthier, safer, more successful communities through sport
To bridge this opportunity gap, we work closely with our network members and partners to unlock the multiple benefits that physical activity can offer to children and young people living in underserved communities
Doorstep Sport is underpinned by the ‘five rights’: sport delivered at the right time, in the right place, in the right style, by the right people and at the right price.
We believe that access to sport and its benefits are a right and not a privilege. For young people growing up in low-income, underserved communities, however, opportunities to play sport and be active are all too often either limited or non-existent.
Doorstep Sport is our tried and tested methodology for engaging young people in underserved communities in sport and physical activity, ensuring that sport is delivered in a way that is enjoyable and accessible to young people in the communities we serve.
Barries-
There are deep-rooted inequalities in sport and physical activity, which mean there are people who feel excluded from being active because the right options and opportunities aren't there. If you're in a lower socioeconomic group (NS-SEC 6-8), you're more likely to be inactive than people in higher social groups.

Barries-Research around ethnic minority participation in sports8 found that self-image played a crucial role. Some research participants had stopped sports activity due to increased internal negative feelings of being seen by other women when getting changed and by men when exercising or attending a particular location
Gender
Mums can have a tough time getting back into exercise, but it's best to take it at your own pace and be proud of what your body can do.
Whether you run a class, club or leisure centre, or are just on a one-person mission to help women in your community get active, there’s something for everyone in our This Girl Can Campaign Hub.
Welcome to This Girl Can, the award-winning campaign launched in 2015 and funded by the National Lottery.
We seek to tell the real stories of women who get active or play sport in the way that’s right for them, using images that show what activity really looks like in all its sweaty, jiggly glory.

Women come in all shapes and sizes with all abilities and from all backgrounds. Some of us are expert sportswomen, some of us are a bit rubbish. It doesn’t matter.
We’re just happy that you’re getting active. And if you’re still not sure that you can, we’re here to help you to figure out the way of getting active that’s right for you.
We want to inspire women and girls of all shapes, sizes, abilities and backgrounds to get active and with your help we can do this.
Barries-Girls, on average, have less self- confidence than boys and rate their performance or ability more negatively than do boys. Self-confidence is also linked to competition. Although some women enjoy the competitive element of sport, many girls and women are turned off sport because it's competitive.Boys usually get more opportunities.
