" The Disabled British Open is a fantastic example of how Britain can stage a world class event for disabledathletes competing at the highest level. As a nation we should be very proud of the awareness this event has created, and the legacy of opportunities within sport for disabled people."Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Legacy Trust UK: Annual Review 2010/1113

Go Get Started Visual Art ProjectPower of the FlameWalesCase studyA competition to attract artwork by young disabled artists was a new venture for Disability Arts Cymru. In all, 191 young disabled people entered the competition. We only knew three of the entrants before the competition, so we now have 188 new contacts in what is considered a 'hard-to-reach' group.We are now establishing new relationships with art departments in schools and colleges across Wales. This is a great start in our quest to find up and coming young disabled artists. The project is also a chance to show that disabled artists' work is being taken seriously. We know that many disabled young people do not receive the encouragement they need to develop their art, and it is even harder to become a professional artist. We feel that the project will have a considerable impact and may help to start to redress the balance.Maggie Hampton, Disability Arts Cymru51,382hard to reach young people have participated in projects this year.Summary The legacy that we are creating across the UK is for everyone, and we don't want anyone to be excluded from participating in or engaging with the wealth of activity taking place. Engaging people from all walks of life, but especially those who do not make up traditional arts audiences, or who might encounter physical or societal barriers to accessing arts, sports or education activities, is a key objective of the projects we fund."I have never felt as free, humble, respected, included and part of any other arts programme. And I now feel proud to have my disability. Thank you!"Luminous Soul participant14Legacy Trust UK: Annual Review 2010/11
