Sport for Young People with a Disability in Wales : The State of Play

Inside Welsh Sport

There are lots of reasons for the rise in young disabled people taking part in sport but the chief executive of Disability Sport Wales has told the latest Sport Wale Podcast that ‘sport is now a viable option’.

Here, Fiona Reid (CEO of Disability Sport Wales) and Owen Hathway (Head of Insight and Policy at Sport Wales) discuss the current state of play and what needs to be done in the future.
