We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Advice the Dept of Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) to immediately include Deaf Athletics in the World Class Performance Programme Plan. More details
Submitted by Brian Kokoruwe – Deadline to sign up by: 23 August 2008 – Signatures: 122
More details from petition creator
Currently Deaf Athletes are missing out on government funding for development, training, medical support and international competitions as deaf athletes are excluded from the governments' DCMS World Class Performance Funding Plan. The plan supports Olympic and Paralympic Athletics (but not Deaflympics) with funding for development, medical, training and competitions. Deaf athletes are not included and so are disadvantaged.
