02 Activities

What the charity does

We provide one-to-one swimming lessons for children with disabilities, then help them join group lessons and succeed in these. We believe that children with disabilities should not be excluded from sport. Our lessons are a powerful tool to help children with disabilities develop physical skills, become socially included and build self-esteem and resilience.
