A new survey carried out by the English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) looking at the impact that the Olympic and Paralympic Games had on disability sport has identified disabled people’s desire to play more sport and that both disabled and able-bodied people want to watch more disability sport.
Key findings of the survey were:
Emma Spring, the EFDS research and insight manager commented on the results:
“The survey clearly demonstrates there is an overwhelming interest in sport for disabled people, and people are keen to watch and be more involved in it.
“However, to fully realise the opportunity the Paralympics have provided and answer the public’s desire for more, it will require more investment and promotion to support the demand.
“EFDS continue to draw from this and other insight to ensure disabled people’s needs are identified and met”.
