INVESTMENT from Sport England is creating more opportunities for disabled people to play sport, according to a Bolton MP.

Julie Hilling, pictured, MP for Bolton West, took part in activities at the Parliamentary reception with the organisation and some of the recipients of more than £170million worth of funding.

She said: “It’s been great to see how Sport England’s money has been used to create more opportunities for disabled to play sport in our community, particularly in areas of Bolton West where there are number of disabled young people.”
