Activity Alliance brings organisations and disabled people together to make active lives possible. Established in September 1998, the national charity looks to a future where everyone can achieve more through increased opportunities and choice. We work with so many amazing people and are proud to be at the centre of influential world-renowned programmes for disabled people. Our vision is that disabled people are active for life, but the stark reality is that disabled people in England are twice as likely as non-disabled people to be inactive.
