Levelling the Field
Shedding light on the experiences, challenges, and triumphs of people that play a role in the adaptable sports and para sports world. We aim to build a platform for narratives to be heard and shared.
RICHARD ALLCROFT OBE, PRESIDENT WWR
“For sport to be able to grow, it requires investment at the grassroots level, at all levels including local and national government, not-for-profit and commercial organisations. This is where you will see successful outcomes in relation to visibility and inclusion. It will happen at the local societal level.”
- Richard Allcroft

“I see a world where para sport is talked about as much as Olympic [sport]. I see a world where people always include "Paralympics" when speaking about the Olympics.”
- Dani Aravich, PLY
