Empower disabled people to take a more active

role in all aspects of sport and physical activity

Example

Disability Sport Events

Explanation

It is essential to increase participation opportunities at

whatever level of choice for disabled people, in the build

up to London 2012 and beyond. DSE's work means more

disabled people can access sport from playground to

wish to be active. These opportunities help to increase

health, well being in addition to confidence, which are

essential for everyday life.

The ultimate aim of this initiative is to produce our next

Paralympians and elite disabled athletes, by focusing on

the identification, development and support of young

disabled people have the opportunity to take part in

high-quality sports provision.

Developing and rolling-out national programmes to improve

access to sport and physical activity by disabled people, such

as the Inclusion Fitness Initiative

Example

Inclusive sport programme

In 2011, in addition to EFDS receiving national partner

funding from Sport England, the charity along with

several of its member organisations (NDSOs- National

Disability Sports Organisations) were pleased to receive

further National Lottery funding. The NDSOs are British

Blind Sport, Cerebral Palsy Sport, Dwarf Sports

Association, Mencap Sport, Special Olympics GB, UK

Deaf Sport and Wheel power.

This funding was to enable the NDSOs to support

National Governing Bodies of sport (NGBs) to deliver

more opportunities for disabled people.

There are three main programme areas which can add

value to more disabled people participating in sport and

physical activity. These programmes can belong toNGBs- such as Big Splash and FA Mars Just Play. Secondly

to EFDS/NDSOs- Inclusive Fitness Initiative, Playground

to Podium, Disability Sport Events, Festivals of Sport. Or

thirdly- disabled peoples organisations- Me 2 you and

Yoodo Sports Campaign (National Deaf Childrens Society

and Leonard Cheshire respectively).
