Sports – Social Impact, Social Change
Community Integrated Care has led some of the world’s most ambitious and innovative approaches to social impact, accessibility and inclusion for disabled communities in sport. That’s why we’ve been named as both developing the Best Community Scheme in sport and the UK’s Care Innovators of the year.
Our programmes and partnerships address health, social and economic inequalities for disabled communities at scale, whilst empowering the growth, strategy and success of our sporting partners.

Being rooted in both sporting and disabled communities, Community Integrated Care is uniquely positioned to deliver the most insightful, impactful and ambitious solutions. This includes:
Inclusive Volunteering™
Delivered in partnership with global tournaments like the Rugby League World Cup and Tour Of Britain, the programme empowers people who draw on social care to gain skills, confidence, and purpose through tailored vocational experiences. Inclusive Volunteering™ has been named Best Community Scheme at the Sports Business Awards!
Strategic Partnerships for Social Impact
Our unique Social Care Partner model empowers organisations like Rugby Football League, British Cycling and Rugby League World Cup. Offering strategic solutions, training, programme development and outreach capacity, we turbocharge impact, accessibility and inclusion.
Event Accessibility & Inclusion Strategy
We’ve led national research with UK Sport and Paralympics GB to help events become more inclusive. Our partnership with UK Sport has unlocked new innovations in accessibility and inclusion.
Programme Design
From cultural and creative arts programming at major events, through to developing On The Same Team – a national sports education programme that has addressed hate crime and bullying with thousands of young people – we have a unique portfolio of social impact programmes.
Proven Impact – International Recognition
Community Integrated Care has been recognised with 50+ international, national, and regional awards in the past five years for our work in sport. From being creating the Best Community Scheme in Sport to being named Care Innovators of the Year, we proudly deliver best in class results.
