An incredibly important campaign from @ParalympicsGB 🤸🤽♀️
It's time for Equal Play ✊
ParalympicsGB is today launching a campaign calling for equal access to PE and school sport for disabled children. Shockingly, just one in four say they currently take part in sport at school.
It's time for change.
