Active Together Podcast
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.

About Get Out Get 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.
Made possible by founding funder Spirit of 2012 and additional investment from Sport England and London Marathon Foundation, we continue our mission to get some of the UK's least active people moving through fun and inclusive activities.
