Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A Message from the English Federation of Disability Sport Honorary President -
Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson.

Disabled people deserve the same rights to be active as everybody else, no matter whether they want to make use of their local gym or become an elite athlete. This is why organisations like the English Federation of Disability Sport have such an important role to play. Our work towards equality in sport means disabled people will be able to access more positive opportunities in sport and physical activity.

Undoubtedly, in 2012 this country delivered an amazing showcase of sport. The Paralympic Games on home soil meant more recognition was given to disabled people at the highest level in sport. As we all strive to build on the momentum which the games created, we need to ensure that disabled people are not only interested in being more active, but that the opportunities are so widespread that everyone can choose what's right for them.

The English Federation of Disability Sport will continue to work with partners and friends, new and established, to ensure this can happen. The organisation's strategy is a major step on an important journey to change perceptions, increase participation and empower disabled people in sport. We are confident this ongoing journey will enable more disabled people to be active for life.

I hope you will join me in supporting the English Federation of Disability Sport's work over the coming years.

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.
