Disability Sport Events (DSE) creates opportunities for participation in sport for people with all impairments. We are the number one events agency, providing events in various sports.

Founded in 1961, our knowledge and experience is respected worldwide. This means, we welcome international sports people at some events in our established annual events programme.

DSE ensures that from grass roots level to international standard, disabled sportspeople can participate in sport. From beginners, who want to develop their talent, to top British disabled sports people, who get high competition at our events- we are actively increasing sporting prowess.

Our work begins with our network of clubs, schools and individuals who are the participants at DSE events. It is here that we can develop, support and encourage people to participate in a variety of sports and activities.

Whether you are a club, school, organisation or individual, simply send an email with your details to info@dse.org.uk to be added to our database. We will then direct you to your nearest regional office for events taking place in your region. Everyone can enjoy sports at various levels- from 'Have-a-go' sessions at a local club, through to regional events, national and international events.

Volunteers through sports forums also organise regional competitions. Through these competitions disabled people can qualify for National Championships.

To participate, depending on the sport, athletes must have a DSE profile to compete. The DSE profile system was developed to allow fair competition amongst people with various impairments. This can be obtained by contacting DSE's office. We hold the Profile database for all our participants at our Manchester office.

In 2005, we merged the organisation and became the events division of the English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS). The EFDS are the umbrella body of disability sport in England. However, we do not receive any Government funding so rely heavily on fundraising and sponsorship to continue our work. Our partnerships with companies, fundraisers, Trusts and other organisations are vital.

DSE's lifeblood is our volunteers, without whom we would not be able to give the opportunities to so many people. For more information on how you could volunteer around the country, please contact our head office on 0161 953 2499.
