Scottish Disability Sport's (SDS) William Moncrieff talked to current Great Britain and Loughborough Lightning wheelchair basketball star, Robyn Love, about the importance of Intersectionality on Scottish Disability Sport Week 2023.
Robyn Love has had a successful career representing Great Britain at the Paralympics, Scotland at the Commonwealth Games whilst also being recently included in the All-Stars team for the first time.
Scottish Disability Sport Week 2023 ran from Monday 27th November to Sunday 3rd December. It was the very first Nationwide celebration of getting active and involved in disability sport in Scotland, hosted as an online campaign.
50 Partners, local authorities and branches across Scotland committed to the campaign alongside SDS (Scottish Disability Sport). The campaign aims to highlight and promote the opportunities and the impact physical activity can have on individuals, communities, clubs and society across the country.
The Scottish Disability Sport Week will also provide a platform to showcase the intersectionality of participants within disability sport and share the message that everyone can participate in sport. The week-long campaign aims to encourage people with disabilities to improve their wellbeing by being more physically active, in a way that suits them.
Each day of the week will be centred around a specific theme to provide a focused discussion. Monday will explore the benefits of getting active and participating in disability sports, Tuesday’s theme addresses overcoming barriers, Wednesday looks at intersectionality, Thursday highlights the impact of clubs and communities, and Friday gives guidance on next steps. On the weekend, Saturday allows the conversation to continue by encouraging people to share their own stories before Sunday concludes the week with the International Day of Persons with a Disability (3rd December).
The campaign builds on the success of the previous, award-winning Be Active Be Well programme, run by SDS and SAMH, that provided online activity and wellbeing sessions.
