Disability Sports Coach
Description
Disability Sports Coach (DSC) make sports and physical activity accessible to people with disabilities.
A lack of coaches who know how to make sports more accessible creates a barrier to participation. It’s no surprise that people with disabilities are twice as likely to be physically inactive, increasing risks of
isolation and poorer wellbeing. DSC address this through community clubs and training courses that teach schools and community organisations to adapt activities so everyone can be included. They have
a proven formula, with 93% of those they support feeling happier, but demand is surging and they are having to turn down opportunities.
DSC will use their grant to hire a Community Coach, allowing them to build strong partnerships and increase income, helping them to plan for the future and grow.
