About Activity Alliance
Activity Alliance is the leading voice for disabled people in sport and activity. Established in 1998 as a national charity, we were previously known as the English Federation of Disability Sport. Our vision is fairness for disabled people in sport and activity. Sport and activity play an important role in our nation's health. We want to create a fair society for everyone. A place where everyone can be active however and wherever they want to be.

Our ambition is to close the gap between disabled people's level of inactivity and that of non-disabled people.

We are to close this gap within a generation by achieving two clear organisational goals:

  • We champion we recognise everyone's voice must be heard if we are to provide equitable place to live, work, and thrive.
