Social enterprise champions grassroots inclusion

Nimbus Disability has been reinforcing its commitment to inclusion through sponsorship of awards which recognise excellence in accessible sport.

The social enterprise, which develops technology that supports sector-wide accessibility, recently sponsored the Unsung Hero category at the Variety Disability Sports Awards 2026 in London.

The awards brought together leaders, advocates, and organisations across the sports and entertainment industries.

The Unsung Hero was jointly awarded to Peter Wyman (Power Hockey, Power Football, and Wheelchair Racing) and Rick Rodgers (Cheer for Everyone).

Both winners were selected by an expert judging panel chaired by Paralympic medallist Stef Reid MBE PLY for their exceptional work in creating inclusive sports environments.

Nimbus managing director Martin Austin MBE said: “Grassroots champions like Peter and Rick demonstrate the extraordinary power of accessible sports.

“Their work inspires us to keep pushing for equal access across every touchpoint of the sports industry.

“For venues, leisure providers, and ticketers, true accessibility goes beyond the field of play – it starts the moment a customer looks to engage with your venue or purchase a ticket.

“By embedding inclusion into operational strategy, businesses can empower disabled participants and spectators alike.”
