  The Sun drives a supersonic wind which inflates a giant plasma bubble in our
very local interstellar neighborhood, the heliosphere. It is bathed in an
extremely variable background of energetic ions and electrons which originate
from a number of sources. Solar energetic particles (SEPs) are accelerated in
the vicinity of the Sun, whereas shocks driven by solar disturbances are
observed to accelerate energetic storm particles (ESPs). Moreover, a dilute
population with a distinct composition forms the anomalous cosmic rays (ACRs)
which are of a mixed interstellar-heliospheric origin. Particles are also
accelerated at planetary bow shocks. We will present recent observations of
energetic particles by Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe, as well as other
spacecraft that allow us to study the acceleration and transport of energetic
particles at multiple locations in the inner heliosphere.
