Humber
Everybody should have the opportunity to participate in sport, whatever his or her ability. At the Humber Sports Partnership we are dedicated to improving the access to sport and physical activity for all disabled people within the Humber sub-region.
Facilitated through the Equality Standard, The Humber Sports Partnership is working with partners to create an equitable sporting environment for all its members. Access to facilities and services are at the forefront, in addition to the access to quality coaches and a safe environment. In conjunction with this Humber Sports Partnership appreciate that Sport is also a tool that can unite communities, through the Equality Standard our aim is to help combat prejudice and discrimination that many disabled people experience.
