Hi, I work for a company called HTYT who created the film rising phoenix in 2020, and we are creating a new documentary on the lack of inclusion for disabled childrens lack of access to school sport, and wondered if I could contact people in your facebook group with something like this: Hello, My name is Joe, and I'm a freelance film researcher, who is currently conducting research and interviews surrounding children with disabilities and inclusion or exclusion from sport and PE at mainstream schools. We're particularly interested in speaking to people from diverse communities and from all parts of the UK.  If any of you have any stories to share, I'd love to hear from you - either here via a direct message or on email: joe@htyt.co.uk Thank you so much!

Hi WCW team A friend of mine just give me a card of your campaign. I find your "Why can't we" idea is awesome and meaningful. And I would like to spread it out to my community. Dunno if u could please give me some more cards so that I can distribute them in our next community gathering. Physical cards would be much appreciated because some of them are middle aged people who are not very keen to use smartphone. Cheers, Chris

The iFLY indoor sky diving centre based in Manchester not only, allows people to experience indoor sky diving, but also, promotes the equal participation of people with disabilities and visual impairment to try the same. Members from various disability groups in Blackburn were presented with such an opportunity as Brian Mills and his wife Glen organised the 'All Abilities' session of indoor skydiving with an aim to showcase how people with disabilities can participate in extreme sport regardless of their disability or age. Around 30 people from different charities such as Age UK and Ability Counts took up this opportunity and participated in an exhilarating and enthralling session of indoor sky diving. The entire excursion of the skydive was conducted inside the state-of-the-art wind tunnel with participants simply leaning forward onto a fast column of air to simulate a real parachute jump. Such was the excitement of the participants, as many experienced euphorias and a newfound hobby. Some of the other participants also felt the same and also received a certificate of completion after the session.
