Grant to Hillingdon charity to engage disabled residents in sport D
ISABLEMENT ASSOCIATION HILLINGDON (DASH) has received
£90,000 over three years to boost participation in sporting and leisure activities among young disabled people in the area. The grant, awarded by the City of London Corporation’s charity, City Bridge Trust, will enable the charity to enhance its offer by increasing the number of current sports and activity sessions including football, golf, boccia, line dancing and multi-sports. The money will also be used to train existing disabled participants as activity leaders. DASH, was established 30 years ago to empower,
inspire and motivate disabled people and help them reach their full potential. In addition to the sports and exercise sessions, the organisation offers young people also benefit from employability training, detailed benefit advice and work experience placements. By engaging more people with physical, learning
and sensory impairment, the charity is aiming to provide a possible pathway to elite sport for those who wish to take it further, be this through a competitive football or
boccia team. As well as Hillingdon, DASH also has participants from the Hounslow, Harrow and Ealing areas. Speaking about the grant, Robert
Burton, deputy chief officer of DASH, said: “This generous grant is going to be so important for our future planning and will enable us to provide more chances for disabled people to get involved with our sport and leisure activities. Using the money, we plan to increase provision for weekend and evening activity sessions as well as signpost people with disabilities to appropriate college and adult learning courses, supporting them in finding a relevant work placement”.
“Another one of our main objectives is to train existing participants so that they can assist the project leaders, run our session and act as role models for others, encouraging them to live fitter, healthier, and ultimately more independent lives. We want to reinforce our ethos –‘disability does not mean inability’.
