ABOUT THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
"We Are Undefeatable" is a movement supporting people with a range of long term health conditions, developed by 16 leading health and social care charities and backed by expertise, insight and significant National Lottery funding from Sport England.
The purpose of the project is to support and encourage finding ways to be active that work with each person’s conditions, not against them.
Being Undefeatable is understanding that how you feel can change from day-to-day, that everybody’s situation is unique, and that moving more when you can is just as important as accepting when you can’t. We believe that every achievement, no matter how small it might seem to someone else, is worth celebrating.
WHO IS THE CAMPAIGN FOR?
-
The campaign brings together partners who reach people living with: Arthritis, some long-term limiting mobility conditions, Alzheimer’s, Asthma, Back pain, Cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease/Lung Condition, Dementia, Heart Disease, Stroke, hypertension (or other heart related condition), Long-term depression or anxiety, MS, Parkinson’s, Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.
-
Due to the nature of the campaign, we also hope to inspire those living with other conditions who can be more active, beyond those listed above. If you can’t find information related to your condition on the website or the campaign partner pages, consider visiting other charity websites relevant to your condition, your GP or where applicable, your specialist healthcare professional.
-
It is important to remember that everybody and how their condition affects them is different and finding the appropriate physical activity for you depends on your own personal circumstance.
New resource packs are now available that also share information about other Sport England partnerships which support people with long term conditions to move more, including:
- #EasierToBeActive, which takes learning from a variety of sources to provide practical solutions and challenge health, sport and physical activity practitioners to consider the implications for their own practice.
- Stronger My Way, which aims to support people with long term conditions and physios with information and demonstrations on strength activity.
- Medical Consensus Statement on Risk provides messages and information about the safety of physical activity for people with multiple long term conditions.
