When you find yourself in a position to assist, remember: your action can disrupt the cycle of inaction.

Hi folks, I'm currently planning a really practical resource blog on ways to improve access, inclusion, engagement and outreach, predominantly in theatres. The blog will feature tips I've learned across the arts, education and charity sectors, as well as research from my MA, and some tips from specialists in the fields of access and engagement. If you have any questions or issues you're facing which this blog might be able to help with, please send them my way!

Here's a reminder what's on this week for #SmallCharityWeek

A day later, a little stiff and with at least one bruised foot (who knew there we still many cobbled pathways in London?!), I find myself in reflective mood. Back in 2018, I was diagnosed with transverse myelitis – with swelling between the upper vertebrae that had no defined cause or reason for being that was ever discovered. It lasted approximately 18 months and then faded almost as suddenly as it arrived. There were no outward signs, but I had hugely depleted energy levels, effectively my body was running on a drained battery the whole time. One of the many tests conducted at the time revealed that I am more susceptible to developing MS than most of the population. I got lost in that for quite some time, losing will and motivation… When Covid hit, and the country went into lockdown I was coming out the other side of this and threw myself into exercise, lost the excess weight I’d put on and reclaimed my sense of self. It didn’t last. I allowed complacency and ennui get in the way of my own care; the world was in decline (maybe still is), in the big scheme of things did it really matter whether I maintained a healthy lifestyle? … Ultimately, I justified bad excuses to live differently. Then, in May last year, I joined Central YMCA and it quickly became apparent that it really did matter, not just on an individual basis, but on a societal one. Physical activity levels have dropped consistently across the population since the 1960s, it costs the UK economy billions in additional healthcare each year and countless lives are lost or impacted as result. On a global scale the issues are even worse – and whilst there are dozens of factors a lot of it comes down to (I think) access and education, and a defined policy that demands those two things are universally available. What we do matters. What we do to assist those who cannot help themselves, or that face the many barriers society has placed in their way, really matters. We cannot stop, we cannot give up, until every individual has access to safe surroundings and the means, appropriate to their need, to engage in physical activity. (Still time to donate, https://lnkd.in/dsw_QPUR, I’ll close out this page in early February and set it up for the next challenge – the Easter 50k – but there’s be a lot going on between now and then – more to follow on that in the next week or two!) #fundraising #movementforgood #physicalactivity #getmoving #upsanddowns
