The Government believes that opportunities to play sport and get physically active should be available to everyone.

Our arm’s length body, Sport England, ensures that each of their programmes impact directly on disabled people and those with long-term health conditions, with initiatives like the 'We are Undefeatable' campaign and partnerships with organisations like Activity Alliance.

In Lincolnshire, this is delivered on the ground through close collaboration with the Active Partnership, Active Lincolnshire, who champion physical activity with local leaders to develop interventions tailored to communities. As part of Sport England’s Place Partnerships work, they are collaborating with Active Lincolnshire and other local partners in Boston, East Lindsey and South Holland to remove barriers to activity and co-create solutions.
