Sport Kingston is committed to ensure that
people of all abilities have the opportunity
to enjoy and play sport. |
|
Since October 1999 sports clubs have had to
make ‘reasonable adjustments’ for disabled
people, such as providing extra help or
making changes to the way they provide their
service. |
|
These changes could be as small as ensuring
that lockers and coat hooks are the correct
height for wheelchair users or provide
training for Coaches. Most of the changes
are not difficult and just need common sense
and looking at things from a different
perspective. |
|
There are many organisations that can
support your club by offering ideas,
information, workshops and other initiatives
to help make your club inclusive. |
|
If you cannot find the information you are
looking for on these pages then contact
Sport Kingston and we will do our best to
answer your query. |
If you are looking to set up or develop a
disability section or simply need advice
then contact the Active Kingston Team:-

Three out of four disabled Londoners are
inactive; more than double the figure for
non-disabled people. The majority of
disabled Londoners do not view activity as a
viable lifestyle choice for them.
Interactive exists to change this. |
