“Access Sport have always been there for me. They provide safe spaces for young people in our community, I would like to say a massive thank you for the ongoing, vital support!” 

We are committed to making community sport accessible and inclusive for underserved communities in Greater Manchester.

Our work supports community sport clubs and addresses health inequalities experienced by disabled and disadvantaged young people.

Through our Greater Manchester team, we work closely with sport organisations, community clubs and volunteers to increase opportunities for young people to participate in regular, inclusive sports.

Our work in Greater Manchester includes:

• Training and upskilling community coaches and volunteers to deliver inclusive sports sessions
• Collaborating with local partners to improve Greater Manchester’s community sport offer
• Organising events to introduce young people to the inclusive activities available in their area.

We also started our Young Leaders programme in Greater Manchester. This project empowers young people by equipping them with skills and qualifications to enhance their employability and become the next generation of community sports leaders.

We also work with our long-term partner, Nuffield Health, to grow sustainable and inclusive sport across Greater Manchester. We align our resources to offer sporting opportunities for disadvantaged and disabled people.

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.
