Disabilities

Go4Life supports all inclusive activities which cater for disabled and non-disabled people alike.

There are a number of  activities you can get involved in if you are disabled, from horse riding to skiing.

You need to think about what sort of things you would like to do. For example, would you prefer to be indoors or outside? Would you like something arty or musical, or are you looking for something more physically challenging?

There are a number of organisations and websites dedicated to helping you get more active. These include:

• Bristol Union and South Glos Union of Disability Sport (BUDS and SUDS)
• DisabledGo - is an international disabled access site with links to hundreds of other key organisations
• English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) 
• Inclusive Fitness - is working with leisure centres to get more facilities for disabled users
• Shape Arts - supports and raises awareness of disabled people in the arts
• Walks with Wheelchairs - summarises different walks that are suitable for wheelchair users
• Youth Sports Trust

We also run an inclusive sports scheme.

It is also important to eat a healthy balanced diet with a variety of foods including plenty of fruit and vegetables, starch, such as wholegrain bread, pasta and rice, some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs and lentils and some dairy. It should also be low in salt, sugar and fat, especially saturated fat.
