“Working in partnership with Access Sport has enabled community organisations and sports clubs to improve their offer for disabled young people."

Nicola English, Sport Birmingham

We are committed to bringing the benefits of community sport to underserved communities in Birmingham.

Health disparities are significant in the city, and despite Birmingham's strong sporting heritage, access to inclusive community sport is challenging for many different families.

Through our dedicated local team, we train, equip and support community sports clubs and expand access to inclusive sports across the city.

Our work in Birmingham includes:

• Training and upskilling community coaches and volunteers to deliver inclusive sports sessions
• Collaborating with local partners to improve Birmingham’s community sport offer
• Organising multi-sport festivals to introduce young people to the inclusive activities available in their area
• Creating a network of inclusive sports clubs.

We collaborate with Sport Birmingham to promote sustainable and long-term change in Birmingham’s community sport space. Our team is also based in Sport Birmingham’s head office in the city centre.

Access Sport is also part of the Beyond Social Impact Framework – the official programme designed to ensure the Birmingham 2026 Championships deliver lasting benefits for communities before, during and after the event. 

Several corporate supporters, sports organisations, trusts and foundations provide vital support to keep this programme running.

Collaboration has been key to our success and moving forward we are looking for new organisations to support this vital work and help more disabled and disadvantaged young people access the life-changing benefits of sport.
