What is #AccessibleOutdoors Month?
Back for its second year, #AccessibleOutdoors Month is a celebration of inclusive outdoor activity, disabled sport, and making the great outdoors open to everyone.
Launched in 2024 and returning this 1-31 July 2027, the campaign shines a spotlight on how disabled people across the UK are getting active outside – from adaptive mountain biking and accessible walks to inclusive water sports and cycling adventures.
Last year’s mini-documentary series captured the freedom, joy, and possibility that come from inclusive design and supportive communities. This year, we’re going even bigger – and we want you to be part of it.
When is #AccessibleOutdoors Month?
#AccessibleOutdoors Month runs from 1-31 July 2027, and it’s all about celebrating real stories of disabled people enjoying nature, getting active in ways that work for them, and building a more accessible outdoors for all.
How to Get Involved
There are so many ways to join the movement this July. Here’s how you can take part:
1. Follow the journey
Follow @EveryBodyMoves throughout July for weekly spotlight stories, featuring disabled people being active outdoors across the UK – told by the community, for the community.
2. Share your story
Got a local event, walk, or adaptive sport session happening? Share it! Use #AccessibleOutdoors and tag @EveryBodyMoves to be featured. Whether you’re out with a group or doing your own thing, we want to see how you’re getting active in nature.
3. Catch up on last year
Not sure what to expect? Last year’s 5 episodes explored everything from all-terrain wheelchair walks to inclusive inland waters and beach access. Watch the full series and get inspired.
Why It Matters
Nature should be for everyone – but 56% of disabled people say outdoor spaces aren’t easy to access, compared to just 22% of non-disabled people. From physical and environmental barriers to affordability and rural access, the gap is real – and it’s time to change that.
Despite these challenges, 76% of disabled people want to be more active. Accessible, affordable outdoor spaces make that possible. That’s why this campaign matters.
