Celebrating another year of inclusion, movement, and community 🌟

In 2025, our Access All Abilities initiatives supported 2,060 people to take part in sport and active recreation — up 9% on last year.

From local clubs to inclusive programs and community activities, it’s been incredible to see confidence grow, friendships form, and people experience the joy and connection that comes from being active together 👏

Sport brings people together in powerful ways — supporting wellbeing, building belonging, and strengthening communities 💙

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved this year and look forward to continuing this work in 2026, creating even more opportunities for everyone to get active and feel included 🏅
