Get Yourself Active Local

Focus areas

Through collaboration with Shropshire Council, Telford & Wrekin Council, voluntary and community sector organisations, and people with lived experience, we aim to focus on these three areas...

For Physical Activity Providers

As part of our partnership project, Disability Rights UK have created a Co-production training video for physical activity professionals in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.

The training video (which is 45 minutes long) is designed to help physical activity professionals feel more confident and informed about using co-production to support Disabled people and those living with long-term health conditions to be more physically active. It includes real-life examples, along with practical hints and tips, to support learning and application at physical activity clubs and groups.

For Social Care providers

Do you support individuals aged 16 and over in Shropshire or Telford and Wrekin? 

As part of our partnership project, Disability Rights UK have created a physical activity training video for the social care workforce in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin. 

The training video (which is 45 minutes long) is designed to help carers, support workers, and personal assistants feel more confident and informed when supporting Disabled people and those living with long-term health conditions to be more physically active.

Moving Social Work

There is lots of work happening to provide training and co-produced resources to help social workers and social care practitioners promote physical activity to, and for, Disabled people and those living with long-term health condition(s).

Durham University have co-produced a Movement Menu designed to support Social Workers with their own wellbeing.

Our collaborative event

Hosted by Energize STW and Disability Rights UK, the Celebrating Change, Sharing Success event took place in June 2026 to celebrate the progress made so far and share the successes of the programme.

The event brought together Disabled people, health and social care professionals, local authorities, voluntary and community  organisations, and activity providers to share learning, showcase progress and strengthen the partnerships that are helping to create change. 

But this event was about much more than movement and physical activity. It was about challenging barriers, changing systems and creating the conditions that enable Disabled people to move, connect, participate, belong and thrive.
