Are you Keeping your New Year Resolution to Exercise More ?

At this time of New Year resolutions, if yours is to exercise more then here’s a round up of the latest information online to encourage you.

It can be daunting getting involved in sports when you’re disabled, particularly if you don’t know which sports suit you and your impairment. Parasport has created an easy to use system to find the right activity for you, so why not head over to their website and find your next favourite sport. View website

If you’re a woman looking to get active this year then the ‘This Girl Can’ Sport England campaign is still running until March 2016. The campaign is encouraging more women to take up exercise and celebrates women who are doing their thing, whatever their shape, size or ability. Find a Sport or Activity that you want to do at #ThisGirlCanSheffield

‘Doing Sport Differently’ is a comprehensive guide to accessing sports and leisure opportunities in your area. It is written by and for people with lived experience of disability or health conditions, to inspire involvement in sport and fitness and improve access to grassroots sport. View website

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
