With Mother’s Day approaching we want to celebrate ParalympicsGB mums Jodie Grinham, Carly Tait and Kelly Gallagher, who recently joined Dr Marie Tidball MP in Parliament to call for action to end inequalities in maternity care for disabled women. The group of disabled mothers hosted an event in Parliament, attended by numerous other MPs, to launch the landmark report by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U. of London, which highlights the inequalities in maternity care for disabled women in the UK. #ParalympicsGB #MothersDay

"The way we talk and think about, and seek to support, disabled people in the UK needs to change." As organisations across the physical activity sector we have published an open letter to the Government on the impact of Pathways to Work on disabled people and activity levels across the UK. Sport and Recreation Alliance | #ParalympicsGB
In advance of Spring Statement on Wednesday 26 March, members of the Sport and Recreation Alliance, sector partners and organisations from across the sport, recreation, and physical activity space have come together to highlight the potential significant adverse impacts of the Government’s proposed changes to health and disability benefits and employment support – set out in Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support Green Paper – on disabled people and participation in sport, recreation and physical activity. The changes risk creating even greater barriers for disabled people to access the physical and mental health benefits of an active lifestyle and undermining progress made by Sport England’s Uniting the Movement strategy in tackling inactivity and social isolation among disabled people. As organisations – and a sector more broadly – we remain committed to working with the Government to discuss and help address the issues highlighted, and drive positive change.
