Disability Sport Wales and SPAR extended partnership

Disability Sport Wales has announced that Spar will continue as the national Community Partner for the next three years.

The extended partnership will enable Disability Sport Wales and Spar to build on the successes of the initial three-year partnership and continue to provide inclusive sporting opportunities for disabled adults and young people in communities across Wales. Despite the challenges of the pandemic the partnership thrived and delivered opportunities across Wales for disabled people to continuing being active in a safe way and different way.

For the three years to come, the major focus of the partnership will be to support Disability Sports Wales in the delivery of the insport Series Events, which are intended to open up inclusive physical activity and sport to disabled children, young people and adults across Wales. The events take the format of a range of opportunities, within a local environment and provided by local insport Clubs and National Governing Bodies which ensures a pathway from those events into good quality, inclusive local clubs and sessions (insport Clubs).

Showcasing what inclusive opportunities are available locally, the format enables participants, coaches, and a wider network of volunteers to expand their experiences, access sports they may not have considered as available or accessible, and make connections with local clubs and wider community; providing great, sustainable opportunities within an inclusive environment.
