What is the Into Sport project?
A 3-year partnership project (funded by Sport
England) between Inclusion London, Interactive (now
London Sport), and five Deaf & Disabled People’s
Organisations (DDPOs)
Aims of the Into Sport project
1) To use DDPO approaches to engage inactive
Deaf and Disabled people in sport and
physical activity (SPA)
2) To identify barriers to participation and
develop innovative approaches to tackle
them
3) To support DDPOs to embed SPA in their
core functions
Achievements so far…
By August 2016 (end of Year 2, Q1):
• 597 Deaf and Disabled people who are least
likely to engage have participated in SPA
• Cumulative total of 17,632 activities
Breakdown of participants (Yrs 1 & 2)
• Gender: Men (47%) and women (51%)
• Age:
 22%
 15%
 30%
 12%
-
18-34 yrs
35-44 yrs
45-65 yrs
65 yrs+
• Most participants have physical impairments
(27%), learning difficulties (17%) or mental
health issues (14%)
Key challenges and barriers to sustained
engagement in SPA
• Lack of confidence among Deaf and Disabled
people
• Transport and cost
• Attitudes of SPA providers (& poor access)
• Lack of accessible SPA provision
• Lack of PA support / volunteers to support
Disabled people to participate
• Getting providers to engage with DDPOs
What are we doing now?
• Piloting innovative approaches to increase
and engagement and remove barriers
• Supporting participants to pursue SPA
training and development opportunities
Peer-led approaches: Helping to tackle social
isolation and foster community cohesion
Archery & Companion
Cycling groups
• Weekly sessions
• Frequent contact with
service users
• Same coaches &
volunteers
• Social element
• Building a network
• Plan to provide peer
volunteer training
Peer-led approaches: Sharing info and
advice and navigating opportunities
‘Peer to Peer’ initiative: ‘Disability Champions’ are
being trained to offer peer support; build networks
around regular sessions; promote use of social media
to encourage sustained engagement, etc.
DDPOs: influencing local SPA provision
Building the capacity of DDPOs to influence
local SPA provision and promoting service
user engagement
• Supporting Into Sport project participants to do
‘mystery shopping’ at local SPA providers and
assess their suitability for other Disabled people
• Building relationships between local providers and
service users
Contributing to local SPA delivery and
starting to diversify the workforce…
• Looking at how we
can open up training
opportunities in the
SPA sector
• This includes
coaching and other
paid work
• How can the sector
reflect the diversity
of the community it
should be serving
What is the project confirming?
• That DDPOs are effective at engaging inactive
Disabled and Deaf people in SPA
• We need to diversify the SPA workforce
• We need to create more accessible
development opportunities for Deaf and
Disabled people

Our Vision
We want everyone in
England regardless of age,
background or level of ability
to feel able to engage in
sport and physical activity.
Some will be young fit and
talented, but most will be
not. We need a sport sector
that welcomes everyone –
meets their needs, treats
them as individuals and
values them as customers.

Insight from Aspire Leisure centre
• 20% Disabled
workforce
• 50% Disabled gym staff
• 30% Disabled
members
Aspire Member Survey
• Positive staff attitudes were the most important factor
for members. Physical access is important but is of minimal
value if the ‘people’ factor is wrong.
• It was deemed extremely important to recruit disabled
staff, who understand and empathise as a result of their own
experience.
• Integrating disabled and non-disabled people is more
natural and reflects the outside world. It also raises awareness
and challenges prejudices about disability.

Know what and how you are going to monitor the outcomes
Collect evidence of impact
Be ready to offer guidance and support – reduce the ‘fear’ factor
Network (health, employment, education, sport, disability,

Round table discussions…
1) What does your DDPO want to do in relation to SPA
and what help do you need?
2) How good a fit do you think there is between Sport
England’s strategy and the work DDPOs do?
3) What does your DDPO need to do to be in a good
position to apply for Sport England funding? (eg.
evidencing relevant work, establishing partnerships
etc.)
4) What needs to happen to increase the number of
Deaf/Disabled people WORKING in SPA? (both for the
individual and within the SPA sector)
5) How can the SPA sector and DDPOs work together to
increase the number of Deaf/Disabled people working
in SPA?
Learning points so far…
• Deaf and Disabled people are motivated to
engage in SPA but there are barriers
• DDPOs are effective at supporting inactive
Deaf and Disabled people to get active and
removing barriers
• SPA should be on a DDPOs agenda (it’s a
rights and equality issue)
‘Yes we can!’ A resource for DDPOs…
Contents:
• Why SPA should be on your agenda (a rights and
equality issue)
• The barriers we face in engaging in SPA
• How DDPOs are breaking down the barriers and
the most effective approaches
• Getting started: initial steps
• Embedding SPA across other services
• Arguments about the important role DDPOs can
play in SPA
Embedding SPA within a DDPO
Example: Inclusion Barnet
• Increasing your staff team’s awareness of
SPA as a rights and equalities issue
• Include SPA issues in your information,
advocacy and advice offers
• Include SPA in your strategy and policy work
