We are looking to fund some of our core costs to enable us to continue to run sports and social activities for young disabled people and, to run a 1:1 befriending scheme for older disabled people. Our aim is to help reduce social isolation, to keep people healthy and promote independence..

Situation
Disabled people for many reasons, young and old, are often socially isolated and can lack confidence. Also disabled people, young and old, don't get enough exercise.
Solution
Our 1:1 befriending scheme for older disabled people, who are often isolated at home with little or no family contact, will ensure that people have a regular visitor, someone to chat to on a regular basis. Our social and sports activities for our younger members will give young people activities to take part in on a regular basis and the sporting activities will help to keep people healthy.
