Abstract
This article explores the organizational innovation of third sector sport organizations (TSSOs) that deliver or facilitate the delivery of sport and physical recreation for disabled participants during the first five months of COVID-19 suppression measures in England. Drawn from qualitative data with key personnel, findings first demonstrate the strategic, financial, user, and human resource dimensions of constraint placed upon the TSSOs. The blend of online/digital and physical innovations adopted by the TSSOs, and how they have contributed to the implementation of novel administrative processes, and technical services and products by the organizations to continue to engage with their target audiences during this time are then documented.

| Additional Information: | Funding information: This research draws on the work of three charity TSSOs. None of the organizations operate member-based subscription models and are all geared toward developing grassroots and recreational sport and physical activity, as opposed to elite athletes. Organization A is a disability sport development charity that operates across the North East of England. The organization’s staff are experienced disability sport practitioners and work with disabled people with intellectual, physical and sensory impairments. The organization delivers disability sport and activity in the community, in care homes and day centers, and for families. The organization is funded via grant and project funding, and the revenue its services generate. Prior to COVID-19, the organization had 12 members of staff, and this includes ‘sport activators’ who undertake session delivery and liaise with groups and organizations. |
