    Disability Sport & Physical Activity in Birmingham

    The Birmingham Disability Network has been established to enhance disability and inclusive sport and physical activity opportunities across the city. This network, comprising Sport Birmingham, Street Games UK, Access Sport, Activity Alliance, West Midlands Combined Authority, and Sported, aims to support local sport clubs and community groups.


    To effectively tailor our support and guidance, we invite Birmingham-based clubs and groups to participate in a brief survey. This will assist us in understanding the current landscape and identify areas where we can offer assistance.

    All survey responses and contact information will be securely stored by Sport Birmingham on their CRM platform (arkflux). Participants have the right to request the removal of their data at any time. Survey responses will be shared among the network partners (listed above) for analytical purposes.

    We appreciate your cooperation in helping us improve access to sport and physical activity for everyone in Birmingham.
