Ava

"For a long time, I didn’t think sport was for me, especially as a wheelchair user. I’d seen para-sports before, but had never had the chance to take part. That changed when I discovered wheelchair basketball sessions near me - and since then I’ve explored a range of adaptive sports and now hope to try wheelchair dancing and adapted climbing."

Ava is passionate about contributing to the development of more diverse and inclusive sports projects. As well as joining the Access Sport Youth Board she is also working with her university to help create more accessible offers so that others can benefit from the same opportunities that she's had.
