Local Authorities
Our work has been continuously supported by several local authorities across London and the South East.
"The Sailability program is a group of adults with different disabilities. They meet once a week to take part in our watersports activities, and also provide their time to volunteer for us. The group has been impacted by the SportWorks programme in a number of ways. For many of our users its the only form of weekly exercise, so having SportWorks increase their activeness is excellent for their health and wellbeing. The combination of sports, games and fun help the group continue to make strong bonds with each other and develop their social and life skills.”
