The fund’s aim was to reduce the negative impact of Covid-19, the associated cost of living crisis and any widening of inequalities in participation rates in sport and physical activity.
Sport England’s Physical Activity attitudes and behaviours survey commissioned during Covid-19 showed widening gaps in activity levels across certain communities: people from Lower Socio-Economic Groups; Culturally Diverse Communities; Disabled People and People with Long-Term Health Conditions.
Disability Rights UK distributed funds to Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) and small community-based organisations that aimed to support Disabled people, funding projects that aimed to help Disabled people become more active in a way that was right for them. It also helped to support the recovery and growth of small, community focused and grassroots organisations following the Covid-19 pandemic.
We are proud to say that this report has proven our Together Fund implementation has had a far-reaching and positive impact on the organisations and communities we have been funding.
