  • Who We Are and What We Do

Who We Are and What We Do

Inclusive sport is local, low cost, safe, accessible, and welcoming to all

Who We Are

Access Sport is a national charity formed in 2004.

We believe that no one should be excluded from the transformational benefits of community sport. The benefits we focus on are:

  • Physical and mental health and well-being
  • Personal development (including life skills/ prospects)
  • Sense of belonging
  • Community engagement.

 

What We Do

We train, equip and support community sports clubs, organisations and volunteers to provide inclusive programmes, unleashing their potential to transform the lives of underserved young people in their local communities.

This work is either place based (Changing Places) or sport focussed (Changing Sports). All the clubs we support are invited to join our Inclusive Club Network.

We then use the expertise gained through this work to effect system wide change.
