Activity Alliance has shared a series of ways to adapt activities so more people can stay in and work out during the Coronvirus pandemic.

The ‘STEP’ tool is one of the most effective ways to use household items to be active. STEP stands for Space, Task, Equipment and People.

Because of social distancing, many people are finding new ways to enjoy being active in or near home. Activity Alliance is mindful of disabled people in our communities and your organisation’s membership, who may feel more isolated or less active during this time.

There are many ways to continue enjoying an active lifestyle. This includes adapting activities so everyone in the household, disabled and non-disabled, can take part together. With a few simple tweaks, activities can quickly become a part of everyone’s daily routine.

Activity Alliance has released six new STEP graphics. Ideal for disabled people, organisations and providers, they show how you can apply the STEP tool to your sports and activities. Download them here.

Additional tips support everyone to adapt the space, task, equipment and people for activity at home. These tips for disabled people and providers can be found on the dedicated STEP page

The Sainsbury’s Inclusive PE Training Programme improves PE and trainee teachers and other school staff’s knowledge and skills. It aims to boost their confidence in providing a high-quality PE curriculum for all young people. The goal is to ensure all pupils are appropriately challenged and supported.
