South London Special League
Sport
We want to buy a small van and sports equipment to coach disabled adults living in residential care and help them be active and have fun.
About this cause
South London Special League is a unique award-winning registered charity that provides opportunities for disabled people in South London, male and female, to improve their lives through participation in competitive sport on a regular basis. By achieving this aim, disabled players can increase their opportunities to meet new people, socialise, and gain new experiences. All of these contribute towards their improved health and well-being, physical fitness, heightened self esteem, raised aspirations and indeed overall happiness. Based on Shooters Hill, we provide a football league for 84 teams across 12 divisions from primary age children to adults, a womens football team, a powerchair football club, a tennis club, cricket and multi sport sessions all year round.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Many disabled adults are living in residential care too early, where they feel isolated and removed from the local community. We want to get them active, improve their health, help them develop confidence so they can be part of the community once again. We know we can make a huge difference to disabled adults and with your support they can have the quality of life we all take for granted.
