Access Sport are helping young people to become healthier, happier and to achieve their potential by providing access to quality local sport and development opportunities.


Working with young people in deprived communities and with a strong emphasis on disabled young people, we have seen the significant impact that taking part in sport can have. In partnership with Canterbury, Loughborough and Kingston Universities, our team monitored the impact of our clubs & programmes and found that:

81%  Of young people say they want to do more activity or sport than before
63%  Feel happier
83%  Reported an increase in confidence.
75%  Reported improvements in communication & social skills, resilience and focus
