Cerebral Palsy Sport worked with the Activity Alliance (formerly English Federation of Disability Sport) and the other National Disability Sports Organisations (NDSOs) to understand how to better support people with a range of disabilities to volunteer.
The final report has been published which hihglighted the need to make volunteering in sport more appealing for disabled people.
New research released on International Volunteer Day (5 December 2017) will enable providers to improve their volunteering opportunities, especially for disabled people. The report, 'Encouraging disabled people to volunteer in sport', explores the barriers to volunteering and the drivers that could improve its appeal.
Activity Alliance ( formerly The English Federation of Disability Sport) alongside the eight National Disability Sports Organisations and Sport England commissioned the project. It aims to understand more on volunteering in sport, as well as to improve the quality and number of opportunities for disabled people. The researchers involved almost 1,500 disabled and non-disabled people in the report and compared the differences in perception and experience of volunteering between the two audiences.
