What do we
know?
The Facts…
There are over 11 million disabled people living in the
UK
• ¼ households in the UK include a disabled person
• Huge range of impairment groups
• Disabled people are far more likely to live in poverty,
be unemployed and have poor education outcomes
• Disabled people are 3 times more likely to have
depression
Less than half the number of disabled people take
part in sport compared to non disabled people
Proportion of people participating in sport at least once a week since baseline
(Figures taken from Sport England Active People Survey 7 data)
There is a latent demand, with
disabled people keen to take part in
sport, but still people are not playing
When asked if they
would want to take part
in sport more regularly,
70% said yes, with 14%
saying no, and 16% "not
sure".
79% of disabled people
said that the Paralympics
has encouraged them to
take part in more sport or
exercise.
9 in 10 (89%) clubs have
noticed no change in the
number of people with
disabilities joining their
club since the
Paralympics.

Raise awareness of opportunities to get
active by intercepting a range of touchpoints
• Capitalise on touchpoints that disabled
people engage with on a regular basis
• Ensure the message gets through about why
and how they should get more active
Promotion through people who
work with them is key, such as
physiotherapists. It’s about
creating connections
Ricky Stephenson (expert)
• Touchpoints around the health sector
provide a particular opportunity as they are
seen to be a credible deliverer of this
message
Opportunity to increase reach at a grass roots level
People also need to know that
they are able to participate
• Informed that their needs
will be catered for, e.g.
– Trainers / staff will
know how to work
with them
• Reassured that they will
be able to keep up and
won’t stand out as
different
Coaches need to be
trained to be able to
deal with your
impairment without
making a big deal of it
Liam, 23 (dyspraxia)
I don’t know of any
opportunities to play
(football) with people with
MS and I can’t imagine how
it would work – don’t you
have to be active to play?
Gerrard, 45 (MS)
The provision of practical support needs to be
demonstrated in communications / initiatives
What can we
do?
“Before Beijing I was
just a swimmer who loved to swim”

A sustainable Paralympic legacy
• Not all disabled people want to be elite athletes –
but lots have been inspired after London 2012
• Short term projects won’t create long term success
• For a real and genuine Paralympic legacy we need
partners who understand the issues and are engaged
for the long term
• We need to invest resources in achieving sustainable
outputs – creating lasting change
Partnership working
• A genuine legacy of the London 2012 Olympic
and Paralympic Games
• Partnership commitment:
– Sainsbury’s
– Sport England
– sports coach UK
– EFDS

“Helpful in gaining
confidence to work
with all people”
“Fun, easy to
understand first step
to leadership”
“It is something that
everyone who works
with disabled people
should go to”
Potential Impact
“I left this training feeling that it
had been the most practical
and useful training session
that I attended in a very long
time. Throughout I was
struck by how relevant it was
to my everyday work
organising events and
supporting adults with
learning disabilities to access
opportunities in the
community”
