Physical activity and play are essential to a child’s development. Regular physical activity is associated with better physiological, psychological, and psychosocial health. However, for those with disabilities many are excluded as they may struggle to participate in mainstream community-based facilities. These reduced opportunities in activity are showing that health inequalities in disabled people exist. Many are missing out on the benefits that inclusion can bring about.

We recruit, provide specialist training and support volunteers. We carefully match our volunteers to individual children, who need direct help to access opportunities within their chosen weekly mainstream physical activity. With our unique support, children are given the chance to enjoy all the benefits of play, movement and development promoting increased confidence and self-esteem, independence, new friendships and most importantly fun!
