Over the next few weeks, ahead of our Awards ceremony on Thursday 7 November, we're shining the spotlight on our deserving finalists for the Lincolnshire Sport & Physical Activity Awards. Today meet our Active Change Award Finalists. The Active Change award sponsored by Lincolnshire Community Foundation celebrates individuals who have used sport or physical activity to positively change their lives. Our three finalists have all shown amazing commitment to personal change and growth overcoming personal challenges to transform their lives through physical activity. 🌟 Ellie Andrew has positively transformed both her mental and physical health by attending wheelchair basketball sessions with Jaguars WBC Ellie has struggled with her mental health since her teens. Attending wheelchair basketball is her 'happy place'. Taking part in NK Jaguars has helped build up her confidence, provided her with more independence, and given her motivation to recover. 🌟 Leah Downes is another attendee of Jaguars WBC. Leah, who has Spina bifida attended her first Wheelchair Basketball session with Jaguars Wheelchair Basketball Club in July 2023. From an initial reluctance to attend, Leah has developed a passion for the sport and it has truly transformed her life, building up her levels of physical activity, and boosting her confidence. 🌟Tommy Thompsett was referred to a cardiac rehabilitation programme at One NK leisure centre following a cardiac event. At each class he got fitter and stronger, until he progressed to an individual exercise programme at the gym and joined a over 50s sports group. His own journey back to fitness inspired him to embark on a ‘Row for Life’ challenge to ‘give something back’ by raising money for the Cardiac team.

For #NationalInclusionWeek we wanted to share our recently published Diversity and Inclusion Action plan (DIAP), Beyond Inclusion: our commitment to tackling inequalities. The plan provides context for our commitment to an inclusive organisational culture, workforce, and Board, and championing and enabling diversity and inclusion across the sport and physical activity sector. As the @sport-england funded lead organisation to deliver the national ‘Uniting the Movement’ strategy in Lincolnshire, we are taking responsibility for supporting the local system to together tackle the inequalities that exist in access to and participating in sport and physical activity. We know this must start with a commitment to diversity, inclusion and learning across our organisation, through our people, our leadership, our culture, and our governance. As well as in our role in disseminating and influencing the wider physical activity, sport and leisure sector and advocating for greater inclusion and diversity.

Today was our first day of filming for the Lincolnshire Sport & Physical Awards, as we capture a snapshot of the amazing work that people around the county are doing to help people be more active, and have great experiences while they do it. Working with Headshot Toby Headshot Toby, we've caught up with finalists Simon from Quest Taekwondo - Lincoln, David & Natalie from Metheringham Primary School and Nick from Nick Lister Fitness (and his 'motivational' violin). Thank you to Sparkhouse for hosting us, it's been a lovely quiet location to film at. Find out more about all our award finalists here: https://lnkd.in/eHptqBgU #LSPAA
