About Us

Access Sport is a national charity with a vision that no one should be excluded from the life-changing benefits of community sport. We are on a mission to make inclusion the norm in community sport by tackling the access barriers faced by disadvantaged and disabled young people. We do this by training, equipping, and supporting community sports clubs, organisations, and volunteers to provide inclusive programmes, unleashing their potential to transform the lives of underserved young people in their local communities.

This work is either place based (Changing Places) or sport focussed (Changing Sports). All the clubs we support are invited to join our Inclusive Club Network.

In 2024/25 Access Sport engaged over 34,000 disadvantaged and disabled young people, with a strong representation from ethnically diverse communities, girls, and previously less active young people. Read more about our impact in our Annual Review. A number of videos showcasing our work can be found on our YouTube channel. These include a recent film about Access Sport and a dedicated film about our Inclusive Training and Learning
