Newtownabbey Kickers
Social Inclusion
Help us purchase club insurance for our children and adult disability teams.
About this cause
We train disabled children in football skills, we improve co ordination, social skills (belonging to a group, identifying with others, autistic children lack many skills in this area) we also improve mobility, body posture and give the children an over experience of belonging to team and also improve their fitness and improve their general well being. this is together with all the associated football/soccer skills sets that apply to our sport.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We are the only club in Newtownabbey Area this is for disabled children wanting to play football, but it's more than just football, it allows the, to make friends, get healthy, improve their mental health and have fun. Whilst showing what the disabled child can achieve, it takes away the disablement and just show the child, it allows social inclusion for all involved.
