The Orpheus Centre plans to create an outdoor gym and Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) for our young disabled students. The centre does not have any sports facilities at present. The facility will give our students the opportunity to keep active and will benefit their emotional and mental wellbeing.

Situation

Our students present with conditions such as cerebral palsy, autism, visual and hearing impairments and Down's Syndrome. They all face significant physical or cognitive challenges. It is important for all people, including those with a disability, to try and maintain an exercise regime suited to their needs. The students are keen to have somewhere to play games like football, wheelchair basketball and to keep fit and healthy but currently we have no facilities to enable this to happen.

Solution

All students (and staff) will have daily access to a gym and games area. This will enable them to see improvements in their physical fitness and wellbeing, strength and stamina; this is particularly important to our wheelchair users. We will open up the facility to alumni and other disabled people living locally so that they might benefit from access to inclusive sports.
