Free events are taking place for disabled people across the country thanks to Sport England funding.
Sport England has supported a number of new everts taking place across the country through its Tackling Inequalities Fund. The fund was set up in April 2020 as part of a support package to help the sport and physical activity sector through the coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis. It was recognised that some groups were being disproportionately affected by the pandemic and it was significantly impacting their ability to be physically active. These groups are:
- Lower socio-economic groups
- Culturally diverse communities
- Disabled people
- People with long-term health conditions.
NDSO partnership
