Inclusive Sports Festival September 2024

Join the Inclusive Sports Festival: Promoting Disability and Mixed-Ability Sports in Our District

This exciting new initiative is dedicated to promoting, developing, and enhancing sports and physical activity opportunities for individuals with disabilities and mixed abilities in our district.

This event is free and is suitable for children, young people and families with special educational needs and or disabilities.

Throughout September, we’ll be hosting daily events, leading up to two major fun days.

These events are designed to offer hands-on experiences and demonstrations, encouraging everyone to join in and fostering a more inclusive sporting community.

Date: Sunday, 15th September, Time: 10am to 1pm

At these events, you can explore a variety of sports and activities through taster sessions led by our expert partners. Watch demonstrations, ask questions, and find out more about the sports or clubs that interest you. Our providers will be on hand to give you all the information you need to get involved regularly.

The festival is all about breaking down barriers and creating a welcoming environment where everyone can enjoy the benefits of physical activity, regardless of ability.

We strive to make our events as accessible and inclusive as possible, though we recognise that individual needs may vary. If you have any concerns or specific accessibility requirements, we encourage you to contact us for more detailed information and to discuss how we can best accommodate you.
