    Situation

    Children with ‘CP’ have high dependency needs causing marginalisation, exclusion and isolation. Their disability has negative life-long impacts on quality of life and limits their ability to integrate into the community. Able-bodied children are free to choose whether or not they play sport – ‘CP’ children have limited access and choice and are overlooked by mainstream providers. C P Sport has the passion and expertise to provide the positive sporting experiences children with ‘CP’ crave.

    Solution

    This inclusive project introduces children aged 5 to 11 with cerebral palsy to the life-changing positive wellbeing benefits of playing sport. Football is not a preferred choice for the majority of children with ‘CP’ because their physical disability makes it impossible for them to play equally with others who are more able. This project enables children – many of who require walking sticks, canes, crutches or open fronted walking frames – to enjoy playing football with their disabled peers.
