While many of us spend the festive season surrounded by friends, family and community, too many children feel isolated, excluded and disconnected. At Access Sport, we know that sport is about much more than being active: it is about finding friends, building confidence and feeling part of something bigger. Yet too many young people are still missing out on these experiences. With the right support, we can help more children across the country find a place where they belong.

Access Sport helps children find somewhere they truly belong. With our support, children can find a local sport club where they can confidently say, “I have found my people!”. We will help community sports clubs, coaches and volunteers to provide inclusive sport and physical activity, providing disabled young people with a life-changing sense of belonging. Targeting some of the most deprived areas, local clubs will benefit from intensive expert support from Access Sport, to develop free/low-cost regular sports opportunities. Our inclusion training will equip coaches/volunteers with the knowledge and confidence to create welcoming spaces.
