Andy Dalby-Welsh

Deputy Chief Executive of the English Federation of Disability Sport

The English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) is a national charity working to make active lives possible. To do this, we enable organisations to support individual disabled people to be active and stay active for life. Established in September 1998, the charity has a vision that disabled people are active for life.

Andy, Deputy Chief Executive of EFDS, is a former international cricketer, with lived experience of disability. In 2004, he set up his own project, Sport for Choice, creating sporting opportunities for blind and visually impaired young people. It built young people’s self-confidence, self-esteem, independence and friendships. In 2009, he was recognised at the Pride of Britain Awards for this work with disabled people.
