It takes 83 seconds of your time to watch the video we’ve produced to go with our strategy #WeAllBelong, please take a look.
Earlier this week we launched our new bold strategy #WeAllBelong. To accompany the launch we created a new campaign video which we feel really conveys the power of belonging in sports and activities, and what that means - we hope you like it!

DSC's Hannah and Alex usually organise sports for everyone else, but got to try padel. Hannah said: "I organised a taster as I thought it would be cool to learn and to coach to members." Padel's an accessible sport. It's great when sport is inclusive - not exclusive! #inclusive

Great to see this fantastic work - ensuring that disabled children are included in sport! This approach should be inbuilt in all schools so that no disabled child misses out.
Following the Prime Minister's announcement today, this significant investment will enable us to extend our work in SEND schools and take the game to 80,000 children with a disability over the next four years. Take a look at the impact we're having on SEND schools so far 👇

Temi was a volunteer with us - now he's a paid coach. He says: "As a disabled person, I know that sometimes people may not want to try something as they don’t want to fail. "It is important to remember that the smallest step forward is improvement." #disabilitysport
