Changing Sports

Changing Sports is our sport specific, multi-location work.

We deliver tangible change across sporting communities, currently working in Hockey, Cycling, Tennis, Rugby League, Basketball, Climbing and Swimming.

Working alongside leading sports organisations, we take an on-the-ground approach, co-creating inclusive opportunities with young people and local communities.

Through our Changing Sports work we:

Co-create social and disability inclusive offers within different sports, addressing gaps in provision
Equip/support (or set up) clubs to launch new offers
Deliver sport-specific training offers to upskill coaches and volunteers to lead local delivery
Reach more disadvantaged and disabled children and young people.

We plan to expand our existing offers and create new offers and we invite other sports to be part of this exciting work.

If you would like to find out more, please leave your details in the form below and one of our team will be in touch.
