Inclusion and Disability Sport
To be informed about future training opportunities in disability sport, please register on our coaches database at

What is inclusion in sport all about?
Everybody should have the opportunity to participate in sport, whatever his or her ability. At Harrogate Borough Council we are dedicated to improving the access to sport and physical activity for all disabled people within the Harrogate District.

This group was formed to make recommendations on equality and inclusion to the delivery agents of sport within the county. The group has also provided guidance, local expertise and support for the development and delivery of the North Yorkshire Sport
