Access Sport
Access Sport supports community sport clubs, organisations and volunteers to provide inclusive programmes for disabled and disadvantaged young people. They believe no one should be excluded from the transformational benefits of community sport.
Meet Grace

Obsessed with basketball, Grace is autistic and couldn’t find a club that catered to her needs. Access Sport upskilled Grace’s mum, Emma, to start an inclusive basketball club and now hundreds of disabled young people can play the sport they love!
A New Community

Since Emma started Safe Haven Basketball Club Grace’s life has turned around. A previously unhappy and lonely person, Grace now has a welcoming, inclusive community and has even gone on to compete in the Special Olympics.
Making Inclusion the Norm

Unfortunately, too many young people can’t access the life-changing benefits of community sport. The cost of living crisis has served to reinforce existing inequalities. More needs to be done and Access Sport needs your support to do it.
