If they're eligible, they're entitled to support, funded by their local authority. 100 million pounds was made available to help this all work.

This summer British Airways will fly more than 1,500 athletes to and from the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio. As team GB's main sponsor, they'll also be responsible for safely transporting the athlete's equipment. Lord Holmes of the Equality and Human Rights Commission is worried about that. It's because of what happened to Athena Stevens, a disabled poet and playwright. She has cerebral palsy and used a specialist wheelchair worth more than 拢25,000. We hear what happened when she was taking a British Airways flight from London City Airport last October.
