Did you know?

43% (4.1 million) disabled people were inactive (doing less than 30 minutes of physical activity a week), compared to 23% of non-disabled people.
This is a 2.7% increase from 40.4% in the May 2019-May 2020 period, meaning 272,000 more disabled people were inactive. This increase was higher than for non-disabled people. This group saw a 1.6% rise in inactivity levels (from 21.4% to 23%).
Just over in 10 disabled people (72%) agree that the coronavirus pandemic has made sport and physical activity less fair for disabled people. A lack of activity has led to both their physical and mental health being harder to manage.
15% of the world’s population is disabled and there is currently no fitness platform available that caters to wheelchairs users. We hope with ABLTY we can make a difference in people's lives by offering ways to stay mobile and independent for longer.

Greer-Aylece Robinson

I have lived in a few places across the UK, including London, West Yorkshire, Cambridge as well as having lived in a few places across Brazil as well as Trinidad & Tobago - this experience and diverse upbringing has provided me with the opportunity to obtain a deep understanding of cultural differences as well as the ability to build rapport with a wide range of people from varying backgrounds.

I have qualifications in disability sport inclusion, FA Level 1 football coaching qualification, and Level 3 Personal Training. I also have a strong research background having obtained my Masters degree in Social Research from the University of London.
