Premier League and BT celebrate disability programme with ‘Festival of Sport’

The ‘Festival of Sport’ at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium in Aylesbury was hosted by BT presenters Abi Griffiths and Jake Humphrey, and saw participants from 20 clubs, who run the Premier League and BT Disability programme, take part in a range of different sports.

These sports included athletics, boccia and basketball, with each participant developing their own skills throughout the event by recording their best times and results at each sports station.

The three-year Premier League and BT Disability programme aims to inspire disabled people through sport and will see the organisations work together to provide funding to Premier League clubs to create more opportunities for disabled people across England and Wales.
