What we do
Everybody should have the opportunity to participate in sport, whatever your ability. At West Yorkshire Sport we are dedicated to improving the access to sport and physical activity for all disabled people within West Yorkshire.
We work closely with the Federation of Disability Sports Organisations and the Equality Standard to offer sport to all.
We can help with news and events, coaching and volunteering information, how to take your talent further with the Playground to Podium scheme, and important contacts.
