Funding boost for Disability School Sports Programme

New sport equipment for children of all abilities

Isle of Man Sport is taking steps to improve access and facilities for young athletes with disabilities.  

Around 80 children, from 13 schools, are currently involved in Manx Sport and Recreation's Disability School Sports Programme.

It's been run since 2017 by trained coaches, with help from students from University College Isle of Man, and has now received a £3,000 boost in funding.

Sessions take place at the NSC between 9am and 3pm every Tuesday. For more information you can email gareth.lloyd@gov.im
