Community Sport
Inclusive sport
Within Denbighshire there are currently existing clubs and provisions offering a variety of sporting activities for disabled people, ranging from Swimming and Trampolining to Wheelchair Basketball and Triathlon
If you are a coach or volunteer there is also the UK Disability Inclusion Training Course (UK DIT) which is currently available in Wales, courses run several times over the year so please contact me for upcoming dates.
In order to help support clubs deliver good quality sessions Disability Sport Wales have introduced insport. insport is a four tiered (Ribbon, Bronze, Silver and Gold) identification and accreditation process which any sports club can go through to show they are committed to providing and delivering inclusive sport. If you are a mainstream club providing inclusive sport already or would like to then please contact me.
If you would like more information on what opportunities are available across Denbighshire then please contact Brett Jones, Community Health Manager through our contact us page.
