Seen It At Queen Mother? Sociability Is Now At Moberly Too!

We’re excited to announce that Sociability is now live at Moberly Sports Centre on Chamberlayne Road – making it easier than ever to plan your visit with confidence.

Here’s a quick reminder about how Sociability helps

Sociability is a disabled-led technology company and mobile app designed to empower disabled people by helping them discover accessible venues across the UK. The app provides clear, detailed and accurate information about venue accessibility, from step-free access and lighting levels to the presence of accessible toilets, hoists, or grab rails.

Whether you’re planning a swim, a gym session, or just want to check out local facilities, Sociability gives you the tools to plan ahead, reduce uncertainty, and enjoy more time doing what you love.

Let’s come together to create a more active, inclusive and supportive Westminster for all.

Why it matters

For many disabled people, lack of reliable accessibility info can be a real barrier to getting active. Sociability helps break down that barrier by making it easier to know what to expect before arriving. It enables greater independence, confidence, and freedom when accessing leisure services – aligning perfectly with ActiveWestminster’s commitment to inclusive and active communities.

Try it for yourself! Head over to the Sociability website at www.sociability.app, learn more and download their free mobile app today!

Your Voice Matters: Have Your Say on Barnsdale Road’s Play Street Plans

Westminster City Council is inviting residents and local communities to share their thoughts on a proposal to introduce a seasonal Play Street on Barnsdale Road. This would give children more space to play safely and offer a more sociable, people-friendly environment during the warmer months.

What is being proposed

If approved, the Play Street would run every year from 1 April to 30 September, with pedestrian priority and reduced vehicle access at set times:

  • Monday to Friday: 3:00 – 7:30 pm
  • Saturday and Sunday: 10:00 – 7:30 pm

The aim is to create a safer, more active street that encourages outdoor play, reduces through-traffic during key hours, and brings the local community together

The Public Consultation  is now open until 11:59 p.m. on 7th September 2025. We will also be running two drop in events where you will have the opportunity to meet members of of the team, ask questions and share your thoughts in person.

Jul 25 NSC Spotlight On the Ground

Every Friday afternoon, the Queen Mother Sports Centre (223 Vauxhall Bridge Road, Pimlico, SW1V 1EL) between 16:30 – 17:45 p.m, comes alive with energy, laughter and wheels in motion, all thanks to the Pimlico Foundation’s Roller Skating sessions for children and young people.

Session Details:

These weekly sessions offer more than just skating, they’re a safe, supportive space where young people can express themselves, grow in confidence, and feel part of a positive, uplifting community. So grab your skates (or borrow a pair) and roll into the fun – your Friday just got way more exciting!

Here’s what the participants had to say:
