Government also funds the Future Digital Inclusion programme managed by the Good Things Foundation and delivered through the 5,000 strong Online Centres network. To date this programme has supported over 800,000 adult learners to develop their basic digital skills, many of whom are socially excluded. The NHS Digital Widening Digital Participation, delivered in partnership with Good Things Foundation, develops projects that enable people in England to improve their digital health skills and to increase their access to digital services and tools that support their health and care. Older people accounted for 71.8% of those reached by funded centres within the programme.<\/p>"}

The importance of this was featured in 'Sporting Future: A New Strategy for an Active Nation' which was published in December 2015. This emphasised the importance of getting people active, particularly those groups currently under-represented, including disabled people.<\/p> <\/p> Sport England\u2019s strategy \u2018Towards an Active Nation\u2019 places a clear emphasis on targeting those who are hardest to reach, including disabled people. As such, they are ensuring that each of their investment programmes impacts directly on disabled people. As an example, the Active Ageing funding, which is part of the Tackling Inactivity programme, includes investment into projects that will target disabled people and people with long term illnesses. All of Sport England\u2019s major capital investments are required to make their facilities accessible. To support designers, building owners and operators create accessible facilities Sport England publishes online tools and guidance.<\/p> <\/p> Sport England is also working with National Disability Sports Organisations on the role they can play to support the delivery of \u2019Sporting Future\u2019 in supporting disabled people to take part in sport and physical activity.<\/p> <\/p> For the financial year 2017/2018 Sport England invested £1.2 million into the English Federation of Disability Sport, who are now known as the Activity Alliance. This investment is for the Activity Alliance to provide expertise and services in the areas of Marketing & Communications, Research & Insight, and Engaging with disabled people and the disability sector. Also, UK Sport is investing £74.9m over the Tokyo funding cycle, which is over four years (2017-21), into 18 Summer Paralympic sports for Tokyo 2020, an increase of over £2m since Rio 2016.<\/p>"}
