CP Sport

Who we are

CP Sport is the national disability sports organisation supporting people with cerebral palsy to be able to access and enjoy being physically active throughout their lives​.

We collaborate with local, regional and national partners to provide physical activity that is accessible and enjoyable for people with cerebral palsy – children, young people and adults, all across the UK. We support everyone with cerebral palsy to have the opportunities, capability and motivation to participate in a wide range of physical activities and which suit a variety of interests. ​
​
We work hard to make physical activities accessible for everyone with cerebral palsy. Our expert specialist support for parents, support workers, teachers, coaches, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, sport providers and other professionals enable sport and sessions to be adapted to suit individual needs.​

Our friendly and welcoming community brings together people with cerebral palsy, their families and friends, volunteers and those working in the disability sport sector who provide local and national opportunities. We are part of a vibrant network, we collaborate with partner organisations, working together to break down barriers that prevent disabled people from enjoying active lives.​
​
We are here to enhance the lives of people with cerebral palsy and the wider disability sport community. Signposting to local, accessible activities and campaigning with our members, fundraisers and partners, we raise awareness of cerebral palsy, as well as the physical and mental health and wellbeing benefits of being active.​
​
Becoming physically active is life enhancing – increased confidence, increased motivation, reducing social isolation, not to mention the range of mental and physical wellbeing benefits which can improve daily life in the long term.

Our culture and values

Our values

Listen to our community and work together to find solutions to achieve our vision.

Collaborate with others from within the sector and from outside of the sector – we can’t achieve our vision on our own.

Learn from our successes, our mistakes and from others, enabling Cerebral Palsy Sport to be an agile, dynamic and innovative organisation.

Support people with cerebral palsy to lead an independent and active life.

Bring enjoyment and fun to our work, to our programmes, our events and ultimately to our community.

Advocate for and refer to “The Social Model of Disability” in our work to raise the level of equality within the sport and leisure sector; also to remove systemic barriers and social exclusion for people with cerebral palsy.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At CP Sport, we are committed to creating a workplace where you can be yourself, feel valued and do your best work. Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is central to how we work, not just something we say, but something we actively build every day.

We welcome people from all backgrounds, identities and experiences, and we recognise that diversity makes us stronger. Whether through lived experience of disability, different perspectives or varied career paths, we know that our impact grows when our team reflects the communities we serve.

We are committed to fair and inclusive recruitment. That means clear, accessible processes, trained interview panels and decisions based on potential as well as experience. Once you join us, we focus on supporting your development, offering flexible ways of working and creating opportunities for you to grow.

We take inclusion seriously. We work to remove barriers, listen to our people and create an environment where everyone feels respected and able to contribute. Discrimination, harassment or exclusion have no place at CP Sport, and we act quickly if issues arise.

We are always learning and improving, using feedback, data and lived experience to shape how we work. If you’re looking to be part of an organisation that values who you are and supports what you can achieve, CP Sport is a place where you can make a real difference.
