The benefits of London for people with an impairment in the UKNumbers 81% of the people surveyed after the Games thought they had a positive 

effect on how people with an impairment are viewed by the British public Even more significantly 50% said their own attitudes had changed 70% of people with an impairment agreed that London 2012 was 

inspirational for them

Real Impact Is best demonstrated by individual case histories such as

Furthermore…..

The success of London has led to a growing commercial interest in supporting the Paralympic Movement

NBC has been contracted to televise the Paralympic Games in Rio– A major breakthrough in securing support for the movement in the US 

B.P. has just committed to support the Movement because – The values it wants for B.P. are those the Paralympic brand is most closely identified with

The impact of the Paralympic Games are a little broader than just the impact of an amazing international sports event 

To increase attendance at Games; To enhance the appeal of the Paralympic brand to sponsors; To encourage persons with impairments to take up sport; and To build up a more favourable attitude to persons with impairments in general.
