Description:

We have colleagues with significant experience of working with athletes with physical disabilities. We are also keen to be as inclusive as we are able to be as a small voluntary sports club, and work with parents and carers in this area.

We are able to provide training for cerebral palsy athletes and have experience of working with young people with mild neural disability. We can signpost to other provision within the Team Dorset Athletic network.

Under Access to Leisure and Learning, we ensure that we are an inclusive club removing financial boundaries that may exist.
