We support disabled people to be active for life

Story

There are around 11 million disabled people in the UK. Less than two in ten disabled people in England are taking part in sport. The English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) was established in September 1998 as the national body and charity dedicated to disabled people in sport throughout England. We work closely with a number of key partners to improve and increase the opportunities offered, ensuring disabled people have a memorable experience of sport and physical activity. Our partners include the National Disability Sport Organisations and National Governing Bodies of sport.

What will your donation buy?

As a guide:

£10 pays for a disabled child to enter a one day sports festival event;

£100 pays the expenses of a volunteer at a national championships;

£500 delivers a course on EFDS' sports profiling system to allow fair competition for disabled people in sport;

£1000 funds venue hire of a high quality, accessible sporting venue for a national disabled sporting event.

Why not donate £1 for every mile (26.2)? Or donate a set amount so that I'll run extra hard at your chosen mileage - £17 for the 17th mile?

Any amount donated is very much appreciated.

Activity Alliance is the leading voice for disabled people in sport and activity. It is not fair or right that disabled people are twice as likely to be inactive as non-disabled people. Your support will help us to achieve our vision - fairness for disabled people in sport and activity.
