During December 2022, as part of the International Day of Disabilities, West Northants Council’s Disabled People’s Forum ran a survey to find out what prevented people from accessing Leisure Centres for sports activities. This was carried out with the knowledge of Daventry, Towcester, Brackley and Trilogy Leisure Centres and Northants Sport. Drop in meet and greet sessions for people with disabilities were offered over the weekend of 2nd and 3rd December where people could meet staff and have a look around the facilities.
There were a total of 33 responses, 21 were full responses, the remaining 12 were incomplete. All responses have been incorporated into a report, which is available on the councils Disabled People's Forum webpage, (Events and Projects area).
The information is being shared with WNC’s Sports and Active Lives Service, Northants Sport and the Leisure Centres to understand the barriers people with disabilities face which could be useful information for shaping their future offer and will be discussed at a future Disabled People’s Forum meeting. If you would like to join the Forum please contact us at Forums.NBC@westnorthants.gov.uk
West Northamptonshire Council's Disabled People's Forum are working with Leisure Centres across West Northants as well as Northamptonshire Sport to find out more about what people with disabilities want when it comes to accessing leisure centres in order to be active.
We are interested in what sports or sports facilities those with disabilities use or would like to use and what barriers they are faced with in accessing these. The information will be used to provide detail about the suitability of current local area sport and leisure facilities and fed back to the local leisure providers.
