About this cause

SPICE teaches children and young people with a variety of special needs how to ice skate. This takes place every Sunday morning in a calm and caring environment, where no-one is judged by their difficulties. It also offers some respite for a short while for parents, who are also supported by each other. SPICE teaches regular ice skating, has the only special needs synchronised skating team in the country, and has two special needs ice hockey teams.

How this cause brings people in the community together

SPICE is a totally inclusive programme. Taking part in shows and competitions allows these young people, many of whom have been excluded from mainstream clubs, to show what they have learned. Children with all kinds of difficulties, both physical and mental are able to skate in front of an audience and be part of a team, something often denied to them. Participation in these events is invaluable,
