Many mainstream athletics clubs do not cater for those with a physical disability. This leads to people with cerebral palsy and other conditions feeling isolated and marginalised. Participation in athletics increases fitness but also dramatically improves self-confidence in a supportive and inclusive environment. It's not just talented elite athletes that need our support. It's also children competing for the first time.

Our athletics programme provides an environment where children and adults with cerebral palsy can compete against others of a similar disability level to themselves. This brings fairer and more meaningful competition. We train mainstream coaches at events so they can take the skills they have learnt and begin included disabled children in their clubs to give them weekly training. New friendships are made at events that last a life time.
