We use the power of sport to enhance the lives of disabled people. Disabled people are twice as likely to be inactive as non-disabled people. Through our inclusive clubs, coaching sessions in schools and expert-led training, we break down barriers to sport for 5,000 disabled people each year.

Story

Can you support a child who has been left out of sport this Christmas?

A donation from you, however small, could make a life-changing difference to a disabled child who can’t join in with sports through no fault of their own.

A child who has been left out of physical activity from a young age due to lack of adapted play equipment in their local park, or left out by a PE teacher at school who didn’t know how to make sport accessible.

A child with Down’s syndrome, a learning disability, or cerebral palsy.

A child like Grace who first learnt how to dribble a football at our clubs.

Grace’s mother Meagan said:

“Before Disability Sports Coach’s local club there was not a sports session suitable for Grace. Grace’s physical improvements have been amazing to see since she started attending the club; I don’t know what we’d do without DSC."

At our clubs, children feel like sport is for them for the very first time. They feel like they belong.

It’s hard to put a put a price on that, but it’s something most children can take for granted.

Make a difference today

It costs £4 per child to offer a weekly sports session for a child at our clubs, or £16 a month.

You can donate directly via JustGiving, and you can also donate by text. Text DSC followed by your donation amount to 70085 to give that amount.

Please donate whatever you can so that no disabled child gets left out of sport.
