Activity Alliance Annual Trustees' Report and Accounts 2024-2025

Activity Alliance (formerly the English Federation of Disability Sport) is the national charity and leading voice for disabled people in sport and physical activity in England. The 2024-25 annual report covers a landmark year including the launch of the 'We all belong' strategy, the release of a government manifesto ('Fight for Fairness'), and new social value research showing disabled people's activity generates £6,200 per person per year — three to four times the value of non-disabled people being active. The charity delivered 176 in-person events upskilling 1,591 people, launched an eLearning hub with 1,834 course completions, and welcomed four new ambassadors. Honorary President is Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson DBE.

Key Metrics

Key Metric 1 176 face-to-face events and workshops delivered, upskilling 1,591 people in disability inclusion

Key Metric 3 135 disabled swimmers and 160 athletes welcomed to British Junior Para Swimming Championships and National Para Athletics Championships

Key Outcomes

  • New social value research (with State of Life) found disabled people's activity contributes £6,200 social value per person per year when meeting CMO guidelines — three to four times the value generated by non-disabled people being active, and comparable in scale to the social value of being employed rather than unemployed
  • Fifth Annual Disability and Activity Survey confirmed disabled people remain twice as likely to be inactive as non-disabled people — a disparity unchanged across five years of tracking — with three-quarters of disabled people wanting to be more active but facing persistent systemic barriers
  • Launched 'We all belong' — a new strategy developed through consultation with disabled people, partners and networks — setting three ambitions: sport meeting disabled people's needs, disabled people influencing policy and campaigning, and addressing inequalities through collaboration
