Disability Sport Coach's award-winning Community Clubs are specialist, weekly sports activities for all disabled people. The purpose of the Community Club network is to ensure disabled people are more active, more often, and be involved in their local community with the opportunity to develop independence and social skills.
The aims and objectives of the Clubs are:
- To improve disabled people’s physical, mental and social wellbeing by attending weekly sessions, competitions and annual events
- To provide support to ensure members are able to access other opportunities to be more integrated in their local community
- To support and train disabled people and their network to become volunteers and coaches, creating a more representative workforce
