Could your club provide an athletics session for people with Down's Syndrome?

England Athletics are looking for affiliated clubs who are interested in setting up a specific session for people with Down’s Syndrome.

The clubs will be supported by the DSActive team, a programme run by the Down’s Syndrome Association, to ensure the sessions are suited to the varying needs of people with Down’s Syndrome. The DSActive team will also support with marketing of the session, will provide free training to all the coaches on how to best support people with Down’s Syndrome, will provide festivals for your athletes to participate in and support you to run your session as required.

There’s up to £550 available to support the setting up of the session and help with further promotion.
