Keeping active is key to people’s physical health and mental wellbeing, leading to a better quality of life.
People in Surrey are half as likely to take part in sport/physical activity if they are disabled when compared to non-disabled people. There are significantly fewer opportunities for disabled people to take part in organised sport/physical activity either in specific sessions or inclusive sessions.
During the summer term of 2016 Active Surrey challenged Surrey’s primary schools to run the 5700 miles from Surrey to Rio to mark the start of the Olympic Games.
