Tackling Inequalities

Our vision is to address inequality and empower everyone to be active in a way that works for them.

Our work focuses on how we understand those experiencing the greatest inequalities and enable and invest in them to move more.

This page brings together some of our learning and insight gained through working closely with people and communities.

Intersectionality

There are nine protected characteristics against which it is unlawful to discriminate.

But it’s the intersectionality that lies within these that can sometimes add complexity that makes it more difficult for people to be active.

We have been working with national guidance and local South Asian, Muslim, and Black women to create resources and case studies of how organisations can enable them to be more active.

Stories of tackling inequalities

Young people from Brackenfield SEND School, Wings School Notts and Dawn House School took part in the ‘Believe. Move. Achieve.’ The event was aimed at young people with special educational needs, and was co-created and shaped by the young people themselves – with sessions held in school prior to the day to gather insight into what activities the young people would like to take part in.
We worked with Derbyshire Refugee Solidarity in Derby, to help create sustainable opportunities for Refugees and Asylum Seekers to be active. These opportunities derive from some of Sport England’s Together Fund Investment, specifically designed to help tackle inequalities.

This video features a pilot health programme supporting people living with long‑term pain and those at risk of diabetes.

It highlights how the programme had to adapt to overcome a language barrier with the South Asian community and that close working with partners was key to it’s success.
