The Activity Alliance, a national charity and leading voice for disabled people in sport and activity, reveals a growing need to reduce disabled people’s cost of living and loneliness in their annual survey results.
Their Disability and Activity Survey report for 2022-23 – the fourth so far – is the primary source of insight for organisations working to achieve fairness for disabled people in sport and activity.
This year’s results show they are not seeing enough positive trends in disabled people’s perceptions and experiences of being active and that greater effort is needed to tackle inequalities.
Four in ten disabled people (37%) said the cost-of-living crisis has affected how active they are. Six in ten disabled people (60%) also reported that the increase in cost of living has reduced how much they socialise.
