This support will be transformational.
Your help will deliver a full calendar of Paralympic-themed activities ahead of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, inspiring a new generation of disabled people to enjoy regular physical activity to improve their wellbeing. Alongside this, the funding will upscale our network of 13 community clubs across London so we can provide more specialist support to more disabled people. Currently, each club relies on a coach and volunteers to run the two-hour sessions. This works well for clubs with eight people or less. However, our clubs are growing - our club in Southwark regularly has over 15 attendees.
With the spotlight on disability sport ahead of the 2020 Games, we will aim to reach even more, and require a second coach so everyone can enjoy the maximum benefits. Coaches measure physical improvement such as balance and coordination, as well as social skills such as communication, providing long-term benefits to more disabled people than ever.
Giving programmes are vitally important. You can't overstate that.
