We Are Undefeatable by water

We're proud to support We Are Undefeatable, the national campaign and movement that aims to inspire and support people with long term health conditions to build physical activity into their lives, in a way that their condition allows.

We Are Undefeatable is led by 15 of the major health and social care charities and is backed by expertise, insight and significant National Lottery funding from Sport England, the organisation behind the award-winning This Girl Can campaign.
