Engagesport have been appointed by Disability Sport Wales to help develop and deliver a commercial strategy to take to market in a move designed to increase the reach of this already successful organisation. Looking to build on the successful partnerships undertaken to date, Engagesport will call upon its considerable experience and expertise in commercial and strategic sponsorship. The strategy will be comprehensive and include how disability sport can be successfully used to deliver diversity training and awareness within the workplace.

Established in 1985, Disability Sport Wales’ aim is to contribute to the country’s Vision for Sport by creating a more inclusive sports sector where every disabled person is hooked on sport, offering real choice as to where, when and how often people play sport. This approach will help to secure the sector’s goals and ultimately achieve its vision of ‘transforming lives through the power of sport’.

Jon Morgan, Executive Director of Disability Sport Wales said:

“We’re delighted to welcome Engagesport on board and we’re looking forward to working with them to identify potential partners for some of our great opportunities. Engagesport have a proven track record in delivering quality commercial programmes and sponsors to other major organisations and we are very impressed with their desire to bring that experience to Disability Sport Wales”.

“Disability Sport Wales has grown significantly over the last decade and we want to continue moving forward at both Community and Elite Performance level. The likes of Aled Sion Davies and Mark Colbourne show that  our programmes work, and with Engagesport’s help, we can look to grow this organisation to get even more disabled people involved in sport.”

Liz Williams, Director of Engagesport said:

“We are delighted to reach an agreement with Disability Sport Wales to become their commercial consultants. Having already spent a number of hours with Jon and his team, we feel that this is an exciting opportunity to help an already successful local organisation to expand their reach and maximise their potential. We will work closely alongside Disability Sport Wales to develop a package that will help support the organisation’s aim of not only getting disabled people involved in sport, but to also assist athletes reach their full potential at elite level. In doing so we aim to create a better understanding of how disability sport can inspire and play an integral role in today’s thankfully more inclusive society.”
