People with a disability or long-term health condition are less likely to be active than those without. So, we're tackling the inequalities in sport and physical activity that mean some feel excluded from being active because the right opportunities aren’t there. #ActiveLives

This is how Lukla Airport was built. Sherpas spent several days walking, running, dancing, and singing their way back and forth across the plowed ground of what was planned to be the Lukla airfield to make it firm enough for a plane to land on. This technique was successful. The Sherpas were employed in the most enjoyable jobs they had ever had. Photo ©: Jim Fisher.

Physical activity isn't routinely a part of the NHS treatment for mental health conditions. We’ve been working in collaboration with iCOPE and @NHS_Bucks Talking Therapies to explore how physical activity can best be integrated into psychological treatment pathways.

Lord Darzi's NHS report paints a bleak picture. The fundamental change needed is to slow the demand for NHS services and improve our national health. We call on the Government to deploy our nation’s gyms, pools, and leisure centres urgently and at scale. ukactive.com/news/ukactive-s…
