Empowering Active Lifestyles for All
Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) - a day dedicated to promoting digital access and inclusion for people with disabilities.
At Able Active, this day resonates deeply with our mission to bridge the accessibility gap in outdoor recreation and physical activity.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
Since our inception, Able Active has been at the forefront of making outdoor spaces more inclusive. We understand that for many, the ability to enjoy nature and engage in physical activities requires thoughtful planning and accessible information. That's why we've developed a comprehensive platform that maps trails, amenities, and events, offering detailed accessibility ratings based on real user experiences.
Our app allows individuals to find and rate accessible amenities, providing valuable insights into features like parking, toilets, surfaces, and safety equipment. This data not only aids users in planning their activities but also informs operators about areas for improvement, fostering a more inclusive environment for all.
Partnerships Driving Change
Our commitment to accessibility is strengthened through collaborations with organisations that share our vision. In 2024, we partnered with Active Disability Ireland to promote inclusive sports opportunities and raise awareness about accessible activities across the country. This partnership enables users to discover nearby accessible facilities and allows organisations to publish their amenities on our platform, reaching a broader audience.
Additionally, our collaboration with Spinal Injuries Ireland focuses on providing detailed information about accessible swimming pools and gyms, addressing the specific needs of individuals with spinal cord injuries. This partnership underscores our dedication to supporting diverse communities in accessing physical activities that enhance their well-being.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate GAAD, we reaffirm our commitment to creating a more inclusive and accessible world. At Able Active, we believe that everyone, regardless of ability, should have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and lead an active life. Through continuous innovation, user collaboration, and strategic partnerships, we strive to remove barriers and open doors to a more inclusive future.
Join us in this journey. Explore our platform, share your experiences, and together, let's make the world a more accessible place for all.
Be part of the change.
