The Active Together podcast series shows how the Get Out Get Active (GOGA) programme brings people together to be active. Since 2016, GOGA has been bringing disabled and non-disabled people together to be active. It has become much more than an activity programme. It is an approach to helping organisations and communities, across the UK, to support the least active disabled and non-disabled people in activity. But it can also encompass other examples such as intergenerational activity, carers and the people they care for being active together, families doing activities together, and communities coming together.
Transforming lives: The journey of Get Out Get Active
Alex Johnston, Policy and Influencing Manager at Spirit of 2012, has been with Get Out Get Active (GOGA) since the idea came to him as a working title. As Funding Manager at Spirit of 2012, the London 2012 legacy funder, he has been a central part of the team that has seen GOGA support disabled and non-disabled people to enjoy being active together.
