• Half of all young disabled people feel they missed out on sport at school because of their impairment
• Of those who do play, 1 in 5 believe that they are not welcome in their local clubs
• Over 50% of disabled people would like to play more sport
• there are over 5,000 disabled sports clubs and groups on our database!
