The topic? “Inclusive Approaches to Activity” – something @GetActiveGOGA does really well. Here’s what we learned from how they do things… @LondonSport

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1"> - When collecting initial data from participants - e.g. their demographics and activity levels, use this to build up a clear picture of who& #39;s coming and whether that matches who you& #39;re trying to reach. Use this to inform your outreach strategy.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏋️" title="Person lifting weights" aria-label="Emoji: Person lifting weights">

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2"> - Having disabled and non-disabled people get active together is great way of getting families which include a disabled person to do fun stuff as a group, while improving the activity levels of the parents as well as the children too!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧑‍🦯" title="Person with probing cane" aria-label="Emoji: Person with probing cane">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧑‍🦽" title="Person in manual wheelchair" aria-label="Emoji: Person in manual wheelchair">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👪" title="Familie" aria-label="Emoji: Familie">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏃‍♀️" title="Läuferin" aria-label="Emoji: Läuferin">

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3"> - Our focus as a funder was never on sky-high KPIs. It& #39;s not about getting loads of people involved in GOGA activities, it& #39;s about getting the right people and creating long-term change in their activity levels. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚀" title="Rakete" aria-label="Emoji: Rakete">

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="4⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 4" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 4"> - The social side - the tea and cake, the phone calls that encourage people to come, the lasting connections - are just as crucial (if not *more*) as the physical side when it comes to getting people to attend regularly. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Gelbes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gelbes Herz">

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="5⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 5" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 5"> - GOGA has allowed organisations to look at interesting partnerships between other organisations, both sporting and non-sporting! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤝" title="Handschlag" aria-label="Emoji: Handschlag">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Angespannter Bizeps" aria-label="Emoji: Angespannter Bizeps">
