We already know that disabled people are much less likely to take part in sport or activity than many other groups. That's why Sport England is redoubling their efforts to fully understand, and provide for people from all impairment groups.

This resource helps us to start to grasp the complex picture of the disability population in England.

Perfect resource for partners

This first report is the perfect resource for national governing bodies and other partners, helping us all plan effective programmes by better knowing the audience. 

EFDS worked with Sport England on this resource and the upcoming reports.
