A new report released today outlines key findings from people with different types of impairments who took part in Activity Alliance’s fifth Annual Disability and Activity Survey.

971 disabled people and people with long-term health conditions took part in an online survey between October and November 2023. The report explores participation and experiences, cost of living, mental health and loneliness and representation and belonging.

It outlines key data for people with seven types of impairment compared to the overall sample of disabled people, non-disabled people, and to previous years. The seven impairment types analysed were mobility, long-term health condition, mental health, hearing, visual, social or behavioural, and learning, understanding or concentrating.
