Do you know an inspiring athlete, coach, volunteer, team, or organisation making a real difference in disability sport?
The Variety Disability Sports Awards celebrate the incredible achievements, dedication, and impact of individuals and groups across the disability sports community. This is a fantastic opportunity to recognise those who go above and beyond to break down barriers, inspire others, and champion inclusion through sport.
Whether it’s a rising star, a committed volunteer, an exceptional coach, or a team achieving great things, we’d love to see them recognised. Individuals and organisations are also welcome to nominate themselves, so if you’ve achieved something you’re proud of, don’t be shy about putting yourself forward!
