Disability Sport Wales
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Disability Sport Wales describes itself as the lead organisation for disability physical activity, and its stated focus is Wales, so work that widens disabled people's access to sport and recreation there is the closest fit.
- Its own description says it is not a grant-making organisation and that it supports member organisations with donations wherever possible, so treat any support as discretionary rather than a grant round.
- The register records £163,279 in annual giving, but no typical grant size or range is published, so keep any request modest and specific to the applicant's ongoing work.
- No application process is published in its annual report, register entry or website, so the only route shown is a direct approach to the contact listed for getting in touch.
