Access Sport

  • Access Sport is a national charity formed in 2004. We believe that no one should be excluded from the transformational benefits of community sport. We are on a mission to make inclusion the norm in community sport by tackling the access barriers faced by disadvantaged and disabled young people.

    The benefits we focus on are physical and mental health and well-being, personal development (including life skills/ prospects), sense of belonging and community engagement.

    We train, equip and support community sports clubs, organisations and volunteers to provide inclusive programmes, unleashing their potential to transform the lives of underserved young people in their local communities.

    This work is either place based (Changing Places) or sport focussed (Changing Sports). All the clubs we support are invited to join our Inclusive Club Network. We then use the expertise gained through this work to effect System Change.

    In 2022/23 Access Sport engaged over 11,600 disadvantaged and disabled young people, with strong representation from ethnically diverse communities, girls, and previously inactive young people.
