ParalympicsGB seeks activist footing to help aid progress for disabled people

Progress has stalled for disabled people in British society, the chief executive of ParalympicsGB has said, as he seeks to move his organisation on to a more activist footing. Dave Clarke, who stepped into the role this year, will try to emulate the 124-medal total of Tokyo at the Paralympic Games in Paris next year. He says, however, that it would be “disingenuous” of the organisation not to use its platform to try to drive change off the field of play, too.
