Lovely to meet you, hopefully this is the start of making big changes for the PE curriculum in schools across the country 🙂

Lovely to meet @LauraSugar1 champion canoeist also of @Upp_Sport along with the mighty @Tanni_GT and Martin of @ParalympicsGB at @C4Paralympics event in Parliament with @Channel4

Shocking that 75% disabled kids do no PE. Will feed the data into @CommonsCMS enquiry on subject

[Paralympic Games @Paralympics]

Charlotte Henshaw from @ParalympicsGB told us how you can be a disability ally during our TikTok LIVE for #InternationalDayOfPersonswithDisabilities

[ParalympicsGB @ParalympicsGB]

We want all children to enjoy being active. We want disabled children to feel included at school, and we want to develop confident young allies 🙌

Please check out the resources. We’re delighted to be part of such an important campaign ❤️

Important to note that i’m definitely not talking about the games themselves. Im talking about the national governing bodies in charge of the british teams and athletes, it is already combined in other countries and from what I’ve seen, it seems to have had amazing results

[Jonnie Peacock @JonniePeacock]

Is it finally about time @TeamGB and @ParalympicsGB think about merging??
Can only imagine improving equality would be easier?
Seems to work for countries like @TeamUSA
?

[Laura Sugar @LauraSugar1]

@Fortnums Yes ‘Team GB’ only refers to Olympians and we as Paralympians are supposed to correct when they call us Team Gb and say ‘actually we’re not’. The point about Thursdays reception was that we were all invited together, however with regards to uniform and after events it’s separated

[Laura Sugar @LauraSugar1]

It’s sad that we as Paralympians feel the need to speak out about equality so often, and great @shawzac for speaking out, especially as his team mate who he trains with every day was treated differently, I in fact ‘gatecrashed��� the event with a few of my teammates and….. 1/2

[Zac Shaw @shawzac]

Hi @Fortnums 👋 as you’re aware, the Olympic and Paralympic medalists were invited to Buckingham Palace yesterday. It would be nice to understand why you hosted an after party for the Olympic medalists but made the decision not to invite the Paralympic medalists? Why? 😅😅

[Laura Sugar @LauraSugar1]

Spoke personally to the CEO Tom Ashton who was very nice and apologetic about the situation, and I’m not sure @Fortnums were aware we were all together at the reception. This goes down to a bigger issue of the huge gap between Team GB and Paralympics GB (yes they are separate)..

[Laura Sugar @LauraSugar1]

@robinl03 @shawzac @Fortnums Hello, I went also, and can confirm we were not invited, we ‘gatecrashed’ and were let in. I did have a long conversation with the head of Fortnums who apologised and wasn’t aware of all the separations that go on between para and Olympic team
