Sports & Leisure

A sport and physical activity strategy for disabled people in London 2010-2015.

‘Inclusive and Active 2’ is a London wide strategy, with a vision of active disabled Londoners. It has been created in partnership between the Greater London Authority (GLA), NHS London and Interactive.

‘Inclusive and Active 2’ sets out five overarching strategic themes and identifies targeted outcomes to increase opportunities for disabled people to participate in sport and physical activity.

This research report was compiled by the centre for leisure research at Loughborough University to provide a definitive critical analysis of social exclusion in terms of sport and leisure for the Policy Action Team (PAT 10).

The work is considered a cornerstone of PAT 10 and as such is a must for all sport development students.

The report defines social exclusion - associates it with poverty of opportunity and details 1999 research theory of the benefits of sport and physical activity.

The work is also the basis for Collins' 2003 book "Sport and Social Exclusion" published by Routledge.

Produced by Sport England back in 1999, this document is targeted at decision-makers in the public and private sectors at national, regional and local level.

Although useful to those currently working in sport and leisure, it is particularly aimed at those who would not normally think of sport as a potential key player in regeneration.
