Our main aim is to provide a pathway for athletes with a learning disability to have the opportunity to train, be coached and qualify through local and regional competitions to enter the Special Olympic National Games - (Bath August 2013). In order to achieve this we have set up a weekly sports and social club which meets every Wednesday at YMCA Plymouth 6.30 to 8.30 for anybody with a learning disability aged 16 upwards.

Why the community needs us

There are very few opportunities for people with a Learning Disability to participate in Sports in our local area. Sport is a great way of breaking down barriers, and really good for a persons fitness, self esteem and confidence and allows for social interaction.

Our impact on the community

Since the club started in September 2011 we have seen our members confidence and concentration whilst participating in sport improve tremendously. Great friendships have been formed, athletes are taking an active role in how their club is run. You are more than welcome to come along and see for yourself what a great time everybody has.
