Raising awareness for Inclusive Sport Opportunities

Active Disability Ireland is a national pan-disability organisation committed to creating an Ireland where people with disabilities have more opportunity to participate in physical activity of their choice.

This partnership with Able Active adds a practical aspect to this mission, where users can use the mobile app to find nearby opportunities for being active. The app also allows organisations to publish their facilities, amenities, clubs and events, not just to the app, but also to their own website.

Able Active and Active Disability Ireland will work in collaboration to promote the Able Active app and to highlight the opportunities that are available across the country. Both organisations look forward to working closely together to see how programmes currently developed across Active Disability Ireland could be supported through the app.

In addition to searching a growing database, users can plan ahead, potentially with family, friends or as a group leader, ensuring that everyone has directions, weather forecasts and other key information. Users can also record their walk, cycle, or hike, even as the basis for doing it again in the future.

We now invite sports organisations, local sports partnerships, and independent activity providers to connect with the partners to adopt best practices for inclusion and to highlight their opportunities for active lifestyles for people with disabilities.
