Get Yourself Active have launched a new publicly accessible video series that shows the reality of how disabled people get active in care environments.
You can read the full story about the Active Together Project on Get Yourself Active’s website , or watch the Active Together Videos on Youtube.
Through Active Together disabled people talk about why physical activity is important to them and how they have been supported by their care/support worker. Support or care workers talk about how they have supported disabled people to get physically active, opening up and being honest about what has helped, what challenges they may have faced and how they worked through them.
The videos can be used as teaching resources in the social care and work sector to break down barriers and support disabled people to be active in the ways they want.
