<p>Sport England is currently investing over £171 million to get more disabled people
playing sport including young people. Since 2012 Sport England has made disability
sport a key part of its strategy and 42 of the National Governing Bodies of Sport
(NGBs) it invests in have specific targets for increasing the number of disabled who
play their sport. Through the School Games, over 28,000 young disabled people played
competitive sport at the county festival level, with meaningful competitive sporting
opportunities to young disabled people at every level of the programme. Project Ability
has also helped introduce around 25,000 young disabled people to competitive sport
and Change4Life Clubs offer the Paralympic sports boccia and basketball as part of
the ‘menu’ of opportunities for participating schools.</p>
