INCLUSION

WHICH COMPANY IS COMBATING PREJUDICE TO FOSTER INCLUSION WITHIN SPORT?

The Inclusion Award is designed to celebrate and award those who have challenged the norm within sport. We searched for projects/initiatives that fostered inclusion, equality and diversity, and appealed to communities irrespective of age, sexuality, gender, disability, religion or belief.

Prejudice can reduce opportunities in sport, limiting diversity, therefore we set out to find those tackling this issue and promoting increased engagement and participation.
