Activity Alliance and Sport for Confidence launch Recover and Reinvent
Activity Alliance is really excited to be delivering a new programme called Recover and Reinvent in partnership with Sport for Confidence and funded by Sport England.
We know that disabled people face significant challenges in participating, volunteering, and working in sport and physical activity for many reasons including financial, physical, psychological and structural barriers.
The Recover and Reinvent programme will address this by providing better participation, volunteering and employment opportunities. Disabled people’s experiences and voices will be an essential part of shaping and leading this programme over the next two years.
We are working together with many national disability sports partners, the voluntary and community sector, leisure and health. Empowered by people’s lived experiences, we aim to maximise our collective knowledge, insight and impact to reduce inequalities for disabled people.
Work with us
To help deliver the programme we are pleased to offer three exciting opportunities to join the Activity Alliance staff team. We are looking for a Strategic Lead and two Programmes Advisors who will help deliver Recover and Reinvent. These opportunities are the first of their kind, involving a collaboration between two Sport England partners, Activity Alliance and Sport for Confidence.

Jannine Walker, Head of Events and Programmes at Activity Alliance, said:
“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to join forces with Sport For Confidence to deliver this exciting new programme thanks to Sport England funding. We are really pleased to be able to recruit more staff to help us make this a success.
“Disabled people face many barriers when it comes to participating in sport and physical activity. We will work proactively with disabled people, Sport England and the amazing team at Sport for Confidence and other key partners. Recover and Reinvent will reduce some of these barriers, so that disabled people can enjoy the many health, wellbeing and social benefits of taking part in sport and activity.”
