Sports: Disability

(asked on 17th March 2015) - View Source

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether London 2012 led to increased sponsorship investment and media profile for disability sport in 2013 and 2014; and whether projections for 2015 forecast a further increase in sponsorship for British Paralympic sport.


This question was answered on 24th March 2015

DCMS does not hold information on sponsorship investment and media profile for disability sport, but remain committed to delivering a lasting legacy for disability sport. 42 of the National Governing Bodies of Sport which Sport England invests in have specific targets for increasing the number of disabled people who play their sport and Sport England is investing over £170m to get more disabled people playing sport. 1.58 million disabled people aged 16 and over ​now ​take part in sport once a week, an increase of 263,900 more disabled people playing sport since we won the bid to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games​.
