Who Says?

05 August 2019 by Val Bowen

Who Says?

A new exciting campaign from Activity Alliance is calling time on negative perceptions about disability, inclusion and sport and asks – who says? For far too long disabled people have faced misconceptions and presumptions on what is and isn’t possible, including in sport. Activity Alliance wants to move the conversations on, open people’s minds and shift out-dated views on disability. Launched on 15 July, Who Says? gives positive evidence, resources and guidance to replace these negative ideas. The campaign films focus on six key perceptions from the charity’s recent research. Each film provides upbeat insight from a mixture of disabled and non-disabled people. You can get involved in the campaign by posting your own experiences using #WhoSays , share the campaign films and make your own to add your voice to the campaign.

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.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

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 :)
