Every Player Counts

The project delivers a programme of 3 weekly adult daytime sports sessions and 2 weekly after school multi sports activity clubs for school children. Adults with learning disabilities are more likely to experience common social characteristics of poor health including poverty, poor housing, unemployment, social isolation and discrimination. Our inclusive multi-sports programme  provides a range of exciting sports opportunities for adults with a range of learning disabilities focusing on issues around social isolation, health, physical inactivity and diet.

The project recognises that children with learning difficulties are more likely to have few friends, smaller social networks and live in households that are more likely to be characterised by low socio-economic factors and poverty and less likely to have access to resources such as sports clubs. Our inclusive multi-sports programme  provides a range of exciting sports opportunities for school children with a range of learning disabilities providing pathways into mainstream sport.
