Equity in Action

sports · EN

Everyone deserves a place in sports. Addressing racism in athletics requires a top-down approach; associations, communities, and families must work together to reshape the racial narrative within physical activity and create fair, equitable, and welcoming environments for all. Teaching children to fail, collaborate, and play is critical to their development, yet generational and systemic stigma can stand in the way. Equity in Action explores the many facets of racial inequality and how they can be addressed to foster fairness within the sporting industry. Hosted by Zoiey Smale, Disability, Access, and Inclusion Consultant and Sports Presenter, the series features conversations with leaders across the sporting sector, including parents, innovators, and professional athletes, reflecting on how to champion equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in sport. From Tuesday 27th January 2026, you can hear inspiring stories from across the United Kingdom
