I have introduced kids from areas of deprivation to a wide range of sports and outdoor and adventurous activities. It is the less niche sports (football, rugby, netball, athletics and gymnastics) that looked after them. Kayaking normally hit a dead end. Climbing was successful only because I know climbers who helped out.

That is a difficult question to answer. Why is football so successful. It is not because of the premier league, it is because jumpers for goal posts and a ball is all you need. Kayaking needs kit, transport and a way of gaining knowledge and skills which are beyond many low income people. The Governing bodies need to be involved but what would there motivation be? Some clubs take the issue seriously, providing kit lends and coaching and others don’t.
