Disability Sport Wales
Disability Sport Wales is committed to this common vision and believes it has a pivotal and unique role in helping to drive transformational change by building upon past experience and recent success. Our aim is to contribute to the Vision for Sport by creating a more inclusive sports sector where every disabled person is hooked on sport, offering real choice as to where, when and how often people play sport. We believe that this approach will help to secure the sector’s goal of ‘more people, more active, more often’. To achieve this transformation, however, means that we must be ambitious – we must set the bar high. We cannot achieve significant change through Disability Sport Wales alone. We need to bring existing as well as new partners on the journey with us. We must challenge our partners and the wider sporting landscape to accept and embrace inclusion, and in so doing, provide even greater levels of activity for disabled people.
