About this cause

We help those with any disability to enjoy as many equal opportunities in sport and physical activity as are practical as their able bodied friends. We provide them with a healthy lifestyle, a feeling of belonging, a community spirit where they can meet new lifelong friends. We offer integrated activity and pathways to performance. Our objectives are to continue to identify others with any disability within schools and the community by providing multi sports and physical activity opportunities and guiding them to appropriate clubs and organisations in their area who are accredited clubs in relation to disability participation. The application is for Boccia a sub group of SBDSG, Boccia is a Paralympic sports which has taken off here in the Borders.

How this cause brings people in the community together

It will provide a healthier lifesyle for those involved in Bocca (a paralympic sport) which is a sub group of SBDSG and in that respect there should be a decrease in the health budget requirement within the region. A healthier life style is widely acknowledged as a benefit not only to those with disability but to their support workers, families and the community. Volunteers are already available.
