Scottish Disability Sport is thrilled to be working in partnership with Four Pillars, an organisation that supports the LGBT+ community in Grampian to improve the overall health and wellbeing of service users. The organisation currently offers its own sport and physical activity opportunities, and recognised the potential to grow provision for the service users who also had a disability.
An informal ‘referral’ programme has now been launched where service users from Four Pillars will be put in touch with SDS and local Branch, Grampian Disability Sport, for bespoke support in accessing inclusive and accessible sport and physical activity opportunities.
Alison Shaw, Regional Manager for SDS in Grampian added “This is a great development. We want to make sure that as many people with disabilities in Grampian are able to benefit from sport and physical activity as possible, but we recognise that the LGBT+ community may face additional barriers in participating. We’re proud that the clubs and organisations we work with in Grampian are welcoming, safe and inclusive, and we thoroughly look forward to seeing the Four Pillars service users thriving in sport and physical activity”.
If you are from the LGBT+ community, live in Grampian & would like support in getting active or with your overall health, contact Four Pillars on mail@fourpillarsuk.org or 01224 211 963
