Talk About Taking Part: Wheelchair Sport and Physical Activity Survey 2016

WheelPower, the national charity for wheelchair sport aims to provide, promote and develop opportunities for disabled people to participate in sport and physical activity and lead healthy, active lives. This report sets out the findings from the inaugural WheelPower sport and physical activity survey - Talk About Taking Part. It explores what activities wheelchair users currently take part in, what they would like to try or do more of in the future and how they can best be supported. The study gained views from disabled people who didn’t currently take part in any sport as well as those who already lead active lives. With 13% of respondents coming from London (the second highest response rate in the UK), this study provides some useful insight into the sporting trends and desires of wheelchair users.
