Parasport Festival (2024-25 season)

Parasport Festivals are designed to offer young people with physical disabilities, hearing loss and vision impairments within mainstream primary and secondary schools an opportunity to try a wide range of sports in inclusive, safe and fun sessions delivered by local qualified coaches.

For some, the day is about sport and physical activity but for many it is a wider experience as they meet other children with similar impairments and experiences and establish new friendships. These festivals are aimed at those young people who are significantly under-represented when it comes to participating in weekly sport or physical activity.
