ABLE2
ABLE2
Disabled Londoners currently have fewer opportunities or choice of sports and sports activities and facilities than others, leading to fewer than one in five of disabled adults in London regularly taking part in any sport or physical activity.
PRO-ACTIVE South London are dedicated to raising awareness of this issue, helping increase the opportunities for Disabled Londoners in Sport and Physical Activity. Our aim is to increase participation amongst the disabled community by 1% year on year.
From the 26th March to 1st April 2008 PRO-ACTIVE South London coordinated a Disability Sport Awareness Week – ABLE 2 (Achieve, Believe, Learn and Enjoy) which engaged over 300 disabled people from south London across 19 activities.
The ABLE2 week again regional coverage including a feature in Timeout magazine. David Gentles was also interview on the BBC Radio London sports show about the ABLE2 week.
Available to download on the right-hand side of the screen is a report on some of the highlights of the ABLE2 week.
We hope to repeat the awareness week in 2009. If you are interested in becoming involved contact Justin Webb or David Gentles on 020 8916 2262
