We aim to increase the number of disabled people who take part in sport and physical activity by :  

  • Working to develop current opportunities
  • Create new clubs / opportunities where there is demand 
  • Offering professional advice and support to organisations to help them become inclusive 
  • Improving the quality and number of coaches and volunteers
  • Working closely with Disability Sports Wales to link to national initiatives
