Happy #ScottishDisabilitySportWeek Day 1 - The Benefits The community I have built through sport is massive. I didn't have any friends with a disability until I started swimming. Having other people to relate to & feeling a sense of belonging has helped me feel more confident

Overcoming barriers can't be done alone. Having to always fight for inclusion can be tiring as a disabled person that's why non disabled allies are so important I challenge you - what are you going to do this week to make sport more inclusive? #ScottishDisabilitySportWeek

Congratulations to all the nominees and award winners last night at the BBC Sports Personality of the year! Incredible year for sport, and Para/Olympic success. Very disappointed to see we didn’t even get a mention for team of the year. The only same 4 boys to ever win and defend
