UPDATED WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION

Thanks to recent enhancements to our Sport:80 settings, clubs can now provide more detailed information about their accessibility features. 

Recent Sport:80 enhancements mean BF can now share updates about wheelchair accessibility in fencing clubs nationwide. This includes providing more information on whether they offer level access, disability-specific sessions, available toilet facilities and para-fencing equipment.

As a result, our understanding of where disabled individuals can participate in fencing has greatly improved.

Key Highlights:

• We now have data on 133 wheelchair-accessible clubs—a significant increase from the 62 clubs identified in the 2023 Level Access Survey.
• While not all clubs have accessible toilets or para-fencing equipment yet, this is a huge step forward in creating a more inclusive fencing community.

The updated wheelchair-accessible clubs list reflects this progress and serves as a valuable resource for anyone looking to join or support these clubs.
