Inclusive Sport

At the 2022 Games in Birmingham we saw George Miller aged 75 years win a gold medal for Scotland in lawn bowls and Anahat Singh, a 14-year-old badminton player, compete for India. It’s not just on the international stage where we see such a diversity of age, but also in classes, clubs, community centres, the countryside, and parks all around the country.

The passion for being active transcends age and generational boundaries.  Nowadays workforces are more likely than ever to be intergenerational: made up of five generations working together. This is even more apparent in sport and Physical Activity where staff, volunteers, officials, and coaches can be from such a broad spectrum of age groups.
