The Paralympic Games highlight the need for more opportunities for disabled people to get active

The Paralympic Games are brilliant and for two weeks every four years, disability sport is in the spotlight. But with disabled people in the UK only half as likely as non-disabled people to play sport regularly, we must do more to capitalise on the Paralympic flame and ensure that disabled people get the chance to take part in activities week-in, week-out every year.

Historic BMX Olympic success is a celebration of grassroots cycling

Bethany Shriever and Kye Whyte’s Olympic success in Tokyo shows what can be done with investment in cycling at grassroots level. But if we are to inspire the next Beth or Kye and unlock the potential of cycling to build a more active nation, we must provide more opportunities for young people to get into cycling.
