Only 1 in 4 disabled children say they regularly participate in sport and PE in school.
With the Winter Paralympics ending, it was great to join leaders, organisations and campaigners working to create equal access to sport and PE as with the @ParalympicsGB#EqualPlay campaign.

12 years to the day I won my 4th gold medal in 2012 the proudest moment of career. Just want to say thank you for all of your support for me over the years, it's definitely time to call it a day on my international career, it's been a pleasure.

Paris truly embraced the Paralympic Games. The huge crowds, the breathtaking venues, the unbelievable sport, the songs.
The Games took over the city for 11 days, but the city will stay with us forever. ❤️

Nothing can make you feel the way sport does.
Only 1 in 4 disabled children say they take part in regular school sport.
The ParalympicsGB team are calling on Government to act now to ensure that by LA 2028 no child is left on the sidelines.

ALL DISABLED PEOPLE DESERVE TO HAVE THEIR FACE SMASHED ON A GYMNASIUM FLOOR…
IF THEY WANT TO.
To feel the sting of a football tackle,
the shock of an 8am swim, the burn
of an after-work fitness class.
The rousing victories and narrow defeats.
To reach personal bests or experience
what it’s like to be on a winning team.
To simply play.
ParalympicsGB won 124 medals in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, despite almost one in five disabled people in the UK being unable to find accessible
or inclusive sporting activities.
The Paris 2024 Paralympic Games are over,
the 2028 LA Paralympic Games start in
1,433 days. This is not a time
As our current Chair reaches the end of his second four year term, we’re seeking a new Chair of the Board to lead ParalympicsGB through the Milan-Cortina 2026 and LA 2028 Paralympic Games Cycle.

"Media coverage of Paralympic sport has changed and expanded and I’m proud Great Britain leads the way.
It allows us to lend voices to those who may not feel heard, with a global stage to highlight the problems disabled people may be facing."
